Default Gutter sealant?

Before I go down to B&Q and buy the wrong one, what's a good sealant
for a joint/crack in an asbestos gutter? It needs to stick in damp
conditions and remain flexible but preferably not remain tacky.

Replacing the gutter is not an option as it's a horizontal valley
between two roofs.

you want a polysulfide based construction sealent, these are moisture
curing but the surface has to be fairly dry for them to get a good
initial tack.

Flexacryl,

expensive - large tin but works. Make sure you cover sufficient of the
valley.
