Seamless alum. gutters were installed maybe 17 years ago on my
little brick bungalow in midwest US.

"Seamless" on the straight lengths. The corner pieces were sealed
with something that looks like caulk inside the gutter.

I noticed one corner leaking the other day. Exactly where it does
the 90 degree turn.

What should I use to re-seal inside the corners? 100% silicone
caulk? Maybe DAP (I won't touch GE)??

Thanks,

I have some gutter sealer which is butyl rubber. It is very fluid,
sticks like crazy to anything and everything. It is a pain to use and
clean up.
I
use silicone caulk which seems to work easier and lasts ok.

The seam sealer is great stuff. I know a guy that uses it fir just
about everything. It can be a pain to clean up.

Silver; pain to clean up - reminds me of the silver anti-seize compound
for bolts and the like.
