we have a lean to type conservatory on the house that's leaking. It's an ogee style and the joiner clicks in on the internal side presumably with some sealant. This was never done right first time round and had to destroy the clear plastic joiner to get it out As it's a really tight area to get your hand in. As a trial bodge in the spring I cleaned it as best I could with various solvents and bodged a patch of polyethylene (silage sheet!) in with some non drying gutter sealant.

didn't work!

I cannot track down the proper join which would make it an easy job so I'm looking for suggestions if anyone has any.

Thanks

We have aluminium gutters which need resealing in a few places. Is this sealant the stuff to use?
Had a quick read and it would seem ob1 or ct1 would do well. The trick, as you probably know, is getting the joints/cracks clean and free from grease. Don't use standard window cleaner as it has silicon in it so prevents a good stick. Isopropyl alcohol for the final clean..... maybe a wipe over with brake clean first to remove oils if it's been bodged before.
