Caulk for gutter spouts.

I need to re caulk my spouts. The OEM caulk gets very hard and holds the spouts very well. Does anyone know what the name brand of this caulk is? Someone mentioned Geocell 2300 but this is not it, although it is a good adhesive caulk.

I just use a clear silicone adhesive sealant for my exterior "caulk" needs. Never a problem.

There are a couple of different 2300 series Geocel caulks.

I received two tubes of 2300 Vehicle Body Sealant from the factory saying they used this on all areas outside except the roof.

*HERE* is a link.

Thanks for the info. Have you used this stuff?
The caulk used to hold the gutter spouts is different from most caulks. It dries hard and has no flex at all. Any more info would be appreciated since the stuff is fairly expensive.

I have used it. Not for rain gutters though.

I had two places on my unit where the bead had missed the seam they were sealing. One on a slide and one near the rear ladder.

I contacted the factory and they sent me a couple of tubes saying what I described above. It went on easy, sealed well, looked just like all other caulk beads on my unit and is clear.

I can't attest for the flex(ability) as my use was simply applying it to a seam.
The bead does seem harder than that of something like silicone.

Hope this helps.

Contact the factory for your brand and they will tell you what they use.
At least they did for mine. They might even send you some!

Lexel by Sashco is great stuff but it isn't what the factory uses on my rig.
