Car wise, Hermetite (the red version) was always sold as a non-setting jointing compound. Having said that, I am almost sure that I have seen rubber strips inserted between the two cast iron gutter lungths. That would only work though if both faces were smooth.
On an aside, anyone else noticed that other peoples' problems always seem easy to solve compared to one's own?
A number of things here leave me thinking: "that's easy" (perhaps because I've done it or seen it done before). And yet, I walk upstairs to fix some more woodwork, start pondering on another job up there that, to me, seems so fraught with difficulties and evils that I want to top myself! (and I'm speaking of my insulation issues in particular, but even doing the bog pipe boxing in seems hard right now!)
I don't think my issues are fundamentally hard - just seems so...
There are lots of easy answers, but I've got to live with the solution I choose, will it start dripping in a year? will it be easy to disassemble in 5 years up a ladder.
yes Everbuild Roof & Gutter Sealant Black 310ml seems a good solution, it won't set hard....

Yeah. I'm interested in the in your result 'cos I have some ali guttering that needs the same treatment (pulled off, repainted, refitted so it isn't falling off unlike now). I'll probably be using whatever you rate :)
It seems to be the one that shows up the most, suggesting its fairly ubiquitous - and Everbuild aren't bad IME.
