Someone else's tip but Ive done it myself when working aluminium.
Rub soap on the aluminium then heat with a blowlamp until the soap goes black, then let cool naturally you soften it correctly. This can be done where there is a tight corner such as the corner of the traveller roof.

I notice that BM have started offering the gutter in 4 parts saves on postage I suppose. Any thoughts since I'll be redoing mine in the spring?

Think I'd stay with two pieces, fewer joins

Thanks to all for the advise. I suppose I will just have to give it a go. Did you use standard SS nails or can you use small SS screws?
