on 11/22/2005 1. Remove the old sealant with a chisel (trying not to damage the gutter).
2. Use a metal brush to scrape off the grime and muck in a 2" radius. Or, attach a metal brush to your drill and do it that way.
3. Clean off the area with a cloth.
4. Apply Shenna (Tremco 380 if you cleaned it really well) on the corner, going from the bottom corner to the top. Allow about 1-1.5" of silicon down the center. Wipe the edge in an outward motion, leaving the center alone. Make sure you get the very top and back corner.

on 11/22/2005 Use a good ladder and don't grab the gutter to keep your balance - they're not meant to bear your weight and could break - not to mention what can happen to you when you fall.
