Gutter leaking
Posted on 1/2/20 at 9:10 pm

I have a gutter that drips where it’s connected. I tried flex seal and it didn’t work. What’s my next plan to fix it? What’s some strong shite I can slather in the gutter part to clog this hole.

If flex seal doesn't work, you're sunk.

Guys used this when they repaired my leaky gutters. Just clean the area well so it will bond.
I bought some later for something similar and I had to get it from a specialty distributor in the area.

Basically this. If the area isn't real clean, many products won't stick for long and the leak will return.
You didn't mention if you have aluminum seamless gutters and leaking at a joint like a corner or where a downspout attaches or if you have soldered galvanized gutters that have several seams on long runs.

Did you clean the area and make sure it was dry before applying? I used Flex Seal on a gutter and it worked with no issues.

And there lies your problem. Clean the area well, remove any sealer that isn't stuck hard to the gutter, make sure it is dry and try again.

I used Stop drop. You need to remove all and clean area and brush this stuff on the seam on nice sunny day in order to eliminate the leaking problem.
Metal building installers love this stuff. It is not cheap but it certainly works.
