Re: Rain Gutter Issue
Pilotdave, it looks like clear silicone may be smeared on the roof by the welting. In the first picture it looks thin and inward a few inches. Have you tried to rub it off by simply pressing your bare hand on it and pulling towards the welt? It may peel off easily.

Re: Rain Gutter Issue
Tom, I've looked again at the pictures and see what you are referring to. There is some sealant above the welting in some spots. I will investigate further when I get back down to the barn to see if it can be rubbed off - just got the shop heater back on line this afternoon and can actually warm up the place!

Re: Rain Gutter Issue
How did you bend the aluminum channel gutter and cleat to smooth curve without crimping or distorting them?

Re: Rain Gutter Issue
I am new to forum. Trying to figure out how to navigate. I have a 1930 Tudor missing original rain gutters. I have been waiting 1 year for backordered preformed steel gutters. I was told that the only source for these has stopped production and do not know when (if ever) they will be available again. So I ordered the straight aluminum ones. I cannot see how these can be bent on the axis necessary to match body curve without distortion. If the gutter and cleat are bent together as unit, can they be popped apart to install the cleat to roof and then put back together properly?

Re: Rain Gutter Issue
Wow I bought the prebents about a year ago and they worked beautiful.. Did u check around with all the suppliers? Maybe someone has some left.. Before the prebents were available I dealt with the straight jobs which are doeable. No you can't bent the tack strip with it.. When I did my straight job I cut the tack strip at the bent area and made a few separate sections to make the curve.. It worked great as I found it to difficult to bend it and would have F'ed it up. All this being said I think I have some good originals left in my shed if ur interested .

Re: Rain Gutter Issue
I am definitely interested in some original gutters if you find them. I expect shipping would be awkward. I am located at 1963 Windcrest Drive, Lilburn, GA. phone (678)908-6654 I have checked with several national suppliers for the new ones.
