I have never heard of this stuff and could not find much on the web. Does anyone have any more information on Nickelite paper and it's usage as a flashing material in a brick wall?

But it reminded me that our National Parks Service has some great information under "Technical Preservation Services". Here's a link that everyone working on historic preservation projects should bookmark: http://www.nps.gov/tps/index.htm - Ronald L.

It was typically utilized as a roofing paper not a masonry flashing material. Does the owner have any test results for the flashing?
