All gutters to be fitted with GutterStuff should be thoroughly cleaned out, all leaves, debris, and roof grit should be removed and the gutters washed out, if possible. All downspouts should be cleared of any obstruction, especially where there are elbows. All gutters should be checked to ensure that they are properly sloped towards the downspouts. All Spikes and hangers should be securely tightened. Hangers should be added where needed.

Insert GutterStuff into the gutter so that its narrowest point, (the sharpest angle) is tucked under the front lip of the gutter. GutterStuff should run to the back of the gutter completely filling the space across the top of the gutter then turn at a 90º angle to sit snugly on the bottom of the gutter. Slide the GutterStuff into the gutter under each spike or hanger, then, tuck the front edge of the material under the lip of the gutter.

Place the material sections into the gutter end to end making sure there are no gaps between sections. A knife or scissors may be used to cut the material, if needed, at the end of each run. Do not stretch the material to make it fit as it will shrink back to its original form and leave gaps.
