OT miter K gutters
This place is full of talent and DAGS was fruitless... Soooo.... I'm
looking for patterns/instructions for mitering 5" K style .032 aluminum gutters. Anyone have a web resource or other reference? I want the job to look good after all the work I've put into siding, trimming and new window installation... I still have to recase the interior of the new windows, which will also require miters... those I can handle. ;-) Thanks, John |

Pop rivet them together with a quality gutter sealant 'twixt the laps. Or, you could buy premade mitres, inside and outside. Tom |

Even the pros = use premade corners. A little silicone sealant on the joints and no = leaks. It is too hard to get good seals on DIY corners and the cost is = minimal. --=20 PDQ |

Tom I've used the premade corners in the past... all those available locally are the thinner gauge stuff and I've never been happy with the connectors... though I suppose they could be lapped and sealed. The CMS is an idea I hadn't considered. I found that trying to cut the miters with snips proved to be very challenging and couldn't see a pro doing that in the field--too slow! John |
