Correct caulk to Use?
 

Hi, an aluminum porch gutter leaks at a 45 degree angle. I'd like to try
to fix it by applying caulk inside the gutter at the 45 degree angle. If
this is a good idea which caulk should I use?

Thanks,

Mike

I'd recommend a one part urethane such as NP1.

NP1, not NPI. http://www.bestmaterials.com/detail.aspx?ID=10136

Make sure you clean the inside of that gutter perfectly and remove all
of the old caulking or you'll probably be doing it again before too
long.

Just a thought ... I was looking for caulk a couple days ago,
I saw they had caulk especially for gutters.

NP1 is a Sonneborn product. It is a one part polyurethane product
and is excellent.

For the gutter, I would recommend butyl rubber, sometimes sold as
gutter and lap sealant.

Everybody carries it. All hardware, lumberyard and big box stores.
Your preparation of the joint is far more important than who makes
it. Ask for gutter sealant.

Ooops, sorry ... I happened to be at Home Depot. I didn't
look at the brand.

With today's DIY market, they have all different types of caulk. I
wold suggest you ask for one that is specific for gutters.
