Roof and Gutter sealant
 
Yesterday was the first time I have used it.

Why has no one on this group mentioned what a sticky disgusting thing Roof
and Gutter sealant is? Maybe I missed the warning.

I replaced my guttering last week in the rain and yesterday was the first
day that was dry enough for me to silicone the bit between my guttering and
next doors. No one ever told me not to get it on my fingers. Gloopy bitumen
type stuff is certainly gross stuff in my opinion.

It may be disgusting, but it is very effective. Because it never sets,
it can tolerate significant movement between the components while still
maintaining a seal.

It set on my fingers and t shirt.

I just squirted as much as I could between the two "different style" gutters
and put a nut and bolt between them.

I changed the gutter last week in the rain. I just needed a nice sunny day
like yesterday to finish the joint between my gutter and the neighbours.

Next time spit (on finger your going to use) and lub your fingers
then it won't stick to them

That works for silicone not gutter sealant. That was my mistake.

I just chucked out a tube of gutter sealant I'd had sitting around for
ages which said to only apply to dry surfaces. Added it to my collection
of chocolate teapots :-) Used black stixall when I needed to patch a bit
of plastic onto (wet) CI gutter recently.
