Re: Re-installing rain gutters

["Ewan Hopkins" <ewanhopkins@hotmail.com>]

I think they are in fact supposed to slide into place but the lip on the 
plastic gets broken as the plastic gets old & brittle. I used some mastic 
under the plastic and held it down with tape and a small weight until the 
mastic had cured - has lasted 6 months+ so far.  You could use something 
stronger like epoxy but it will make life more difficult if you ever want to 
remove them again.

HTH,

Ewan Hopkins.
