I have cleaned and painted the guttering,
and got new bolts to join them with,
but what gooey stuff shall I use in the joints?

If it was something that set hard then it could make it very difficult
to disassemble them for painting in ten years time.



Car wise, Hermetite (the red version) was always sold as a non-setting
jointing compound. Having said that, I am almost sure that I have seen
rubber strips inserted between the two cast iron gutter lungths. That
would only work though if both faces were smooth.
