For outside corners measure from corner to corner. Measure the length of the wall where the gutter will be installed and leave an extra 8 inches of material on the end for the 45 degree angle. If you have a straight run gable roof measure from shingle to shingle and then add 1 2 inch to each side for a slight overlap. Set the ends of two lengths of gutter in the slip.

If you have inside corners subtract 5 inches. Step 2 cut the gutter material to the 45 degree angle using a miter saw or miter box and hack saw. Wrap the slip joint around the outside of the two gutter pieces. Cut your gutter material to fit the required length using either a hack saw or metal snips.

Cut a 45 degree opening on the nozzle of a silicone caulk tube by inserting the end of the nozzle in the hole located. Simply squeeze into cracks and holes then apply a further coating around the entire gutter joint.
