Rain Gutter Sealant...E6000 Self-Leveling?

[aviafx]

Hey all,

Re-sealing the rain gutters on my 60 series this weekend. I've already used a heat gun/chisel/picks to get the old sealant out, and coated the gutters with primer and paint. I tried unsucessfully to use 3M 5200 on them but it turned into a goopy mess, so I'm starting over.

I was looking at the 3M self-leveling sealant stuff that requires a special gun, but I also found this stuff, thinking I'd like to try it out: E6000 Industrial Adhesive - E6000 - Products

It says it doesn't like UV rays, but the 60 is going in for new paint in a few months here anyways. If the E6000 works out it's quite a price difference... $8 a tube vs. + $50

Anyone have any experience using it? How's it age?

Just in case anyone stumbles on this post:

I gave the E6000 product a fair shot, applied with a caulking gun in the shade. The stuff applied and leveled out great on the horizontal gutters, but was quite a headache on the downspouts by the windshield. It would run down too quick in some spots and not enough on others, resulting in goopy mess. I figured I might give 5200 a try again here. After the E6000 product dried overnight, it bubbled up in several spots and formed craters in the dried sealant. I'm going to grab the heat gun, rip it out and start over.

Long story short, I should have just used the 3M body sealer!

Yeah, self-leveling anything is a mess unless it is fully contained.

I used the 3M controlled flow seam sealer 3M™ Controlled-Flow Seam Sealer | 3M United States
It worked great on both the level and more vertical pieces of the gutter on the A-pillars. My only advice is to not do it while its hot. It sets fast and is hard to work with when its hot. I made that large mistake. Other than that the stuff is great. A nice compromise between a full self-leveling seam sealer and a regular seam sealer.
