This is the style of repair that was performed on my gutters 1.5 years ago. After last winter's crazy storms and this summer's endless rain they're all leaking again. All the roofing cement cracked at the gutter seam. I'm not sure whether to try and scrape it out and try another method or just get new gutters. Definitely not paying someone for the repair this time.
Hmm.. For all of the "un"-constructive criticism I see here, why no video replies since everyone with an opinion is such a expert?
From what I can see here is that this repair accommodates for flexibility and leak protection. The rivets tie together the strength of the sheet metal to provide all the force necessary to hold the seam together while the tar patch keeps it flexible.
The only problem is the stickiness of the tar, so this is obviously a repair to do before or after the leaves fall.
DO NOT LISTEN TO THIS GUY! He does not know what he's talking about. NEVER use roof tar in your gutters - it will not work & it will never come out. Consult a professional for the proper materials needed to seal a leaking seam or corner.
Fuck, that's stupid. Call back for sure. Just run a new seamless piece. Fuck you home depot for selling 10 foot pieces that people splice together. and fuck you gutterWANNABEpro for fixing some shit that's still gonna leak.
Mastic and membrane is for fixing leaks in built-up roofs. I would have rivited the gutter together first then take a wire brush and scratch the gutter joint and put a thick layer of polyurethane caulking over the gutter joint and finger it in. You will be lucky if that gutter joint last`s a couple of years the way you did it.
Silicon should be used...apply it once and never again ! This is the hillbilly method...it doesn't last very long

Good advice for the do it yourselfer! Should seal up for awhile until they can afford new seamless eavestroughs.

. I believe the gentlemen uses the term “tar” metaphorically as Henry’s 204 is “Plastic Roof Cement.”

What an idiot...tar in a gutter. All you have to do is use some seam sealer and a rivot for that top edge. This guy has no idea what he's doing.

man, all you gotta do is rivet that together nice and tight, and use some OSI window caulking, real thick because it dries thin.
