Can these gusher guards be successfully used on vinyl gutters? Thank you for your help!

I don't see a problem. Since vinyl cracks easily drill pilot holes in the vinyl gutter prior to inserting the sheet metal screws. I put down a good layer of silicone caulk on top of the gutter where the guard goes. I'd do this as well.

I concur...I attached mine to metal gutters. I would drill a starter hole then use sheet metal screws. I used mine 'straight' over my doorway where a valley from the above roof was causing a 'waterfall' over the gutter from the metal roof. I glued (liguid nails) 1" rocks in a staggarded pattern to the metal roof to slow down the water then attached the gutter gusher. PERFECT!

I don't see why they can not be used on vinyl gutters, mine are aluminum I just used sheet metal screws to attached them. Works fine.

On a vinyl liner I would have to guess no, on a cement liner....for the cost of the product I'd say get it a shot. I was able to seal a leak on PVC pipe joint that was wet and under some pressure. Again, for the cost ...I'd try it on anything to take a chance...good luck.

This device did not work for my bathroom's bathtub drainage pipes. I did not attempt to use it on gutters. Since it did not work for my drainage pipes I would say it probably would not work your gutters.

It will work, but it will be extremely slow and tedious work. Also some common sense stuff, like don't use directly on plastic gutters. If your gutters are painted it will bubble the paint if you hold it in one spot too long. Use it in combination with a tool to break up the ice and remove it in chunks, being careful not to damage gutter, roofing etc. Hope that helps.

Yes it will I have the plastic covers but for the valley that go into a one way gutter these are the best. Also they prevent squirrels from sitting in gutter and boring a hole into the edge of roof. I like the combo of the plastic and the brushes for my house because plastic does not let any seeds or pine straw in the gutters and the brushes allow the water to go into the gutters and not overflow like the plastic does.

Apologies for being so vague ... but it depends. First you have to hang the gutter and the metal roof may or may not allow you to hang a gutter. You may need to construct a "fascia" and hang that from the roof and then attach the stainless steel gutter guard from the fascia board. Some friends and I did just that ... and it was a complex bit of "cabinet work" to say the least. The word "Macguiver" comes to mind. [Hope I spelled Macguiver correctly.]

Will work fine in the 4" PVC pipe, You might look on Youtube under Larry Hall or Rain Gutter Grow System, There is a bunch of videos on usingplastic rain gutters and the PVC pipe foe self watering planters. Good luck

depends how sharp things are. I worked on aluminum gutters with those and they were fine. However I am fairly sure you can penetrate them with a sharp butcher's knife or stick needles directly in them.

I used these: http://www.amazon.com/Postions-Insulated-Terminal-Barrier-Strip/dp/B00D0W93NU/ref=pd_bxgy_e_img_y They worked well.

Yes, Flo-Free works well with hanging gutters. If I am understanding you correctly, you mean gutters that attach to the roof and hang down with a strap and bracket.With these gutter strap and brackets you usually need to make 2 - "T" cuts during installation. The 1st one is where the bracket is and the 2nd one is 1-2" further to fit around the hanging strap.The rest of the Flo-Free installation is the same. Thanks for the interest and have a great day.Niezle

mine went under some and got stuck on some, I have about 3 diff. types of gutters on my house and the last addition I put on the installers (I think) put spikes too low or at a downward angle to the house and it gets stuck on about every other one of them. I just gave up this year and bought leaf guards. ouch!

Yes, I recently cleaned my gutters and put it on my vinyl siding with absolutely no damage. There was no scratching or any problems. Just don't put it on the lower edge of the siding panels as that might crease it.

Measure the width of your gutters to see what size to order. If your gutters are 6 in width, the you need to order the 6 inch gutter guards. The guards fit exactly over the top of the gutters with no extra overlap. Measure from farthest side to farthest side, not in between the gutter opening.

Didnt use it on a gutter but I imagine it would. It is very thick and strong when it dries

This definitely will work with the rain gutters that stick out from a car (like a van top or more vintage cars), I would nearly assume that a newer CR-V would not have a roof for this. It basically clamps on inside and outside of rain rails.

Our experience would be that the natural retention of the shingles combined with the lip generally was sufficient to hold the gutter guard in place. We did screw it into the gutters and it added a bit of strength but in our post-installation opinion, it wasn't specifically needed.
