How We Do Our Hand Mitered Corners.

http://www.eavestrough.ca How to fit a hand mitered corner together. You will need templates to be able to cut the eavestrough properly. They can be made with a miter saw set on a 45 degree angle with a blade made for aluminum. Our screws are dacrotized so they will not rust. Stainless steel screws are great also.

are you kidding with the paint, brown paint will always fade. Should never paint gutter. However i commend you on the custom outside miter, not many these days can do that nice of a job. don't really need to do it. Strip miters do work fine with only one seam to caulk. Box miters suck! Always screw the bottom and never use rubber nitrite sealant that sucks too! Geoseal 2320 works the best. if doing gutters on the shore use 2315 with fiber glass to seal the miters

@GutterGiants We have no issue with a small spray over the edge that gets cut. Its just to take the shine off. We are always looking to improve our way of doing things so the client gets the best job possible. Yes we use Geocell. I have talked to Geocell and they do recommend screws to hold it together as Geocel 2320 is a terrific sealant not an adhesive. Some companies skip the screws on the bottom but this may not be best for the long haul. Thanks for your input!

ok, first off never drill in bottom of gutter....within 5yrs IT WILL LEAK! I am not putting ur method down....try using a 5" strip miter and some rubber nitrile sealant. works great. use them everyday... i got more tips too...but maybe canada is different. i do like that lil drill u have wish i could see that a lil more. and wondering what the torque is on it and battery life

@musclehed03 Thanks for watching! Strip miters good however our market demands hand miters as they have one seam to seal and do look neat if done properly. No problem with the screws and have been doing so for 17 years. We have temp fluctuations so alot of expansion and contraction hence the two screws. The drill is a 7.2 volt makita impact driver. Good for small screws. All our staff carry a 18 volt and a 7.2 volt drill to reduce bit changes plus the small drill will not overtighten and strip.

very nice video... i prefer box miters because they save lots of time on the job but this is very nice for jobs on expensive houses..

[torontoeavestrough]

@SBratni Yes box miters are quicker and easier. We used to use box miters years ago when I lived on the east coast. Box miters were standard there and it was possible to do a nice leak free corner with them too. In our market box miters are not the norm.
