Top > Sealant > Caulking

Question:

I have leaky eaves troughs. How do you fix troughs on the corners? I have tried tar and other similar products on the inside but without any luck. The troughs themselves are seamless.

Answer:

The first thing is to clean off the metal right down to where it shines and then apply any good silicone caulking compound where you need it.
