stretchable cauld

aeetes | Posted in General Discussion on

I have metal gutter with this expensive water proof caulk that is leaking. A friend told me that it was because it cracked in the cold weather.

Is there a product someone might suggest to fix this issue?

Thanks.

    They make a special sealant just for that purpose.  Alumax has some sort of "Pro" formula sealant in addition to their standard stuff, for example.  It's pretty good, but I find that PL polyurethane roofing sealant is even tougher for this application.

    Make sure the joint is adequately riveted or screwed as well.
