I think it's a mistake to use sealant. The gutter needs to expand & contract in the fitting, but sealant will lock it in place. Just put a new seal in IIWY.
Really not worth messing around, union brackets are less than £3! Can tell by the easy way the clip snapped on, that there's not much meat on that gasket for it to clamp tight.
Put a screw in the union otherwise it will leak under continuous strain from rain water. And the union should have rubber gaskets in not just some silicone. Far easier to replace old union for a new one at a cost of around £3
Not really... this fix will last for years... extra time wasted going getting one and fuel.. fix and repair will always save you money.. people just want easy fix even if it costs them more money... and trust me the way thinks are going we all need to save..
Dear sir could you give me advice on how to use dulux easycare with a brush I found that the paint is dragging when you blend in and pulling the previous brush strokes off making patches. I have watered it down slightly but it is still doing it , I hope the next coat rectifies this . I am painting fresco paper Thank you.
If it's first coat on wallpaper.. this can happen best to ignore and just get first coat on even.. second coat should go on better and leave s great finish.. thanks
The labour involved in messing about cleaning the old bracket etc really isn't worth it. Better to just buy a new coupler and change it. I've never seen this sort of repair to last long term no matter what sealant etc used. If I had to do a quick fix then In my opinion denso tape is hard to beat and will cope with expansion and contraction.
keep life simple and replace the union couple quid save all the faffing about all together 5 min job instead of...6.minutes 52 secs of yr precious time 😆😆😆😁😁😁😁
