Sealing rain gutter to skin of the roof

[greenmeanie]

Thanks. I was considering using body adhesive in place of the sealer between the skin and the gutter. It should still seal well and make for a stronger assembly. I can't imagine thermal cycling will be an issue.

I'll use a some sealer in the gutter for insurance.

Gave a bit of thought to body adhesive, but opted to go with an automotive grade seam-sealer…..In doing so laid a good bead of seam sealer in the gutter assembled using # 10 stove bolts in every other 3rd /4th hole to temporarily hold it fast and a-line roof to gutter. Followed up by setting the tubular rivets and finished by brushing over the rivets and in the gutter with a bit of thinned seam-sealer.

Cheers,

One more thought on sealant options...

Try 3M Heavy Drip-Chek Sealer (08531). It's specifically made for drip rails and is available through automotive paint supply shops. I used it on the gutters over ten years ago when I restored my 109 SW and it's still going strong with no leaks.

Any clue on how many tubes for an 88 roof gutter reassembly?!

Thought I'd try one more time....

Does anyone know how many of those small 3-5 oz tubes are required to do the roof/roof gutter sealing project?
