I about to install my gutters back on the camper they are 1 1/2 inch wide. The butyl rubber is almost 1 inch wide. Is this sufficent? It is the same width that was on the gutters when I took them off. The gutter was siliconed at bottom against trailer. Is proflex ok to use and what can I use to make the proflex a smooth finish? Thanks mike

P.s. I bought new stainless screws to install them back with.

The 1" strip will be fine. Align it with the top edge of the gutter and work your way down making sure all the screws are going through the rubber strip as you go.

I don't bother putting any caulk under the bottom edge. It serves no purpose (other than visually) and just adds something else that will have to be maintained/touched up.
