Hi quick one i am needing to fit new chrome gutter trim.i fitted the old one two years ago and it has always been fidgety! like regularly pushing it down,etc.it has finally had its day.the old one also shrunk an inch and a half at the join! i used it warmed in water and pinched it up when i cut it so it could settle like the window beading but i think maybe i did it wrong?!! any helpful tips to get this right before she goes to a local show on sunday?! thanks enigma
