Hey Bob,

 

I've never heard of this stuff but I'll definitely take a look at it at Home
Depot.  Here, though, is what might be considered a dumb question.  In your
message you say it can go on wet or dry.  By this, do you mean it comes in a
dry state and it can be mixed with some kind of liquid if one would prefer
to use it wet?  Or, do you mean it can be used on a wet or dry surface?  The
only roofing I've ever done is seal some loose shingles with a tar compound
so please forgive my ignorance.

 

Take care,

Ed Przybylek

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.

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
