Cast Iron Guttering

[cansado15]

I have a problem with my house guttering leaking at various joints. Anyone recommend some type of paint/sealer that can be applied that will solve the problem without having to remove and re-do the joints. I did slap on some car underseal paint, but it didn't last long.

you would need to cut the bolts off and re-putty the joints to do it properly.

Lining it with Flashband usually lasts a few years.

if all else fails dry off and seal with mastic..

There is no paint/sealer which will last any length of time!
cut the bolts off, clean out the old putty, reputty and fit new bolts.
Then they wont leak.

"Possibly"


The advice given is to do the job properly!!

But he doesn't want to do that.

He can now make an informed decision!

If they are leaking then the best thing to do is, remove it all and replace with plastic.

You will spend more time trying to bodge it up than doing it properly.

Better start looking for red lead putty now

You can get lead type putty that you use with stained glass window making.
