[MassHistPres] MassHistPres Digest, Vol 39, Issue 10

[Renaissance Restorations LLC]

I worked on a residence a few years ago that had all the original slates 
removed and replaced with synthetic ones.  They had some issues with 
some of the slates
curling and buckling under the Summer heat.  Quite a few were replaced 
during the installation (Disclaimer: My firm didn't install the 
synthetic slates)
