Ed,

You can get a can of wet dry sealer like they use on roofs.  I think it will go 
on down to 40 degrees.  Just like its name says it can go on wet or dry.  Just 
use a putty knife to spread it out.  

It's been a long time since I had to check on cold weather sealers so you may 
do well to ask the folks at Lowes or Home Depot what will work in the cold.  

If all else fails you can carry a heat gun up the latter and heat the gutter so 
you can apply gutter caulk.  Just heat from underneath the gutter and it will 
warm up enough for it to work.  I've done that before.  I know it's a pain to 
carry a heat gun up the latter and keep track of the cord.  Take a bucket and 
put a coat hanger around the handle.  Then you can put everything in the bucket 
and carry that up the latter.  You can twist the hanger around a rung on the 
latter making a kind of tool box.

  Subject: [BlindHandyMan] Sealing A Gutter


  Hi all,

  A drip has developed at a place where two gutters on my roof come together
  at a right angle. The water drips onto a sidewalk and freezes when the
  weather gets cold enough. This presents a real hazard to people walking
  down the sidewalk. My problem is that the weather has been between 30 and
  40 degrees lately and will get much colder before too long. This prevents
  me from using the standard sealants that I normally use. Does anyone know
  of a sealant that would work in this cold weather to solve this problem.
  Thanks for any help.

  Take care,

  Ed Przybylek
