My ranch house is 17 years old - seamless aluminum gutters.  Some of the brackets are loose so I am installing this sweet screw type version that I bought at Menard's.  Gutters are basically in good shape - except for the corners - they leak and I now need to replace a few small pieces of fascia wood.  

What is the best process to fix?  Grab a gallon of tar and just seal all the seams?  Buy that magic spray in a can that seals a screen door to make a boat?

Hive?  Ideas?

Phone the dude with the truck that spits out the seamless stuff.  It is practically free.

Forego "gutter seam sealant" as it hardens and fails over time and get yourself a tube of clear OSI quad caulk.  Wipe the leaking joints and get some quad up in that B.  It cures in presence of moisture and sticks to damp materials.

I have seamless gutters.  It's the 90 degree corners that leak.

I was expecting this to some redneck variation on the Italian Tuneup...
