Great method for repair. I'd add to Bondo the hole and seams, sand smooth then paint. It will become almost invisible.

This is exactly what I was looking for.. Thanks for your tutorial.

That was a well explained solution, thank you for doing it for us.

Well done ... that's a great repair job!!! Thank for you the tutorial.

Good job! Thanks you for the HR.

Thanks for this tip! I had a firework blow up on my pourch from neighbors, and it blew a few holes in my vinyl siding.

Best job yet of all the videos even though somewhat labor intensive. I have about 15 holes 😳🥺

Good job - thanks for sharing😀

That's a lot of work, but a very good end result.

Nice job 👍

Great method...more caulking though, you can still see the seam clearly.

I never comment... job well done.

try tinting the caulk with the paint and then just wipe the cracks and the hole. the cheaper latex caulk is good for this.

Pretty much the same as one way of doing a drywall patch.

what Dremmel bit did you use?

Heck yeah

What's epoxy? They sell that Lowe's?

Much rather use foil tape, some silicone, and a paint brush with matching paint. Virtually invisible with the right color paint.

faster just to change the sheet of siding

It's a lot easier to just replace the panel. A 12" long piece cost me 5.00 at Lowes today.

use alcohol next time

Next time you have baseball sized hail let me know so I can get you approved by your insurance company to replace your soding not patch it and probably your roof as well

terrible job with the caulk.

Good thing it wasn't by your front door. Hillbilly patch job. Just replace the panel

I have never left a bad comment on someone’s video before until right now. I usually just keep scrolling on by minding my own business. I had to actually sign in to my google account to leave this comment which took some time recovering the password. First just a little of my work history and job titles so you know I’m at least qualified to leave this comment. I worked as a carpenter for 24yrs starting as an apprentice going thru a four year program and working my way up to a company carpenter foreman. A company Carpenter foreman was different than a job site foreman as in you could start a job in the dirt and finish it off with all interior carpentry finishes. Job site foreman’s only had expertise in exterior finishes or interior finishes. So basically either a concrete formwork guy or a cabinet hanging door swinging kinda guy. Company foreman’s basically ran the job in the field as a superintendent would. Anyways I also went thru a 2yr superintendent training program. Then I got my carpentry apprenticeship instructor certificate and started teaching the apprenticeship program after work 2 nights a week. The biggest job I ever ran was a 245 million dollar joint and spine center addition on a major hospital in Cincinnati Ohio. I designed the formwork made the foundation schedule laid the site out decided on how many crews and what size crews We had seismic walls that had to pour monolithically and the tops of them where 80’ long on a 45deg downward slope from 30’ tall one end to 6’ on the other. we had columns that where 40’ tall and had to be poured monolithically but without dropping the concrete more than 4’ from the end of our shoot, without cold joints and poor concrete consolidation . This was a 4yr long job start to finish that had to be executed flawlessly with the other trades to even have a chance at meeting deadline. Then came delivery schedules for cabinetry, doors, door hardware interior pads for mri machines lead lined walls and doors at the same time as we have guys outside working on concrete curbs on the green roof for the roofers and landscapers. Trees that top out at 100’ tall where planted on this roof. But even after all that after all my years with the same company all the jobs I worked on and all that I ran. I still would not get on KZfaq and make videos on how to do things that others have already made videos of flawlessly with pride with each step laid out plainly and correctly. Just to showcase my half ass eye sore hacked up work to others and to teach unknowing people how to do something half ass and incorrectly. First off if for some reason you could not replace the whole sheet like is supposed to be done you could or at least shown a decent looking patch blended in nice and flush with a full inside backer piece instead of a strip and used a type of adhesive such as but not limited to Velcro or double sided tape to pull it back flush. Or even better yet put the backer piece in from side to side snug fit and lappin* behind top and bottom use your screw to glue in that pieced needed then after the adhesive has set up install your outer finished piece of siding with the proper adhesive and let it set up. Fill in flush any remaining gaps in your joints with either paintable caulking or even better yet all purpose bondo. Smooth that out even with the face of your patch and existing siding. You won’t even have to put a hole in the new patch that’s filling the hole that your fixing. So now you have a small patch that’s smoothed out even and just needs painting. This may still leave a spot that can be noticed different if looking closely so it’s best if you can to just replace the whole sheet that’s bad. But if on a budget or the siding color is faded and unable to be matched or you just can’t find the siding or want to find it because your hell bent on fixing what’s there then please do it correctly and not like this hacked up shitty hole patch that you just put another hole but smaller in the center of it. Or do it like this and have a nice new patch outlined by 4 shitty half ass caulk joints along with another smaller hole in the center to caulk. May as well not waste your money with color match paint even on that shit because it’s either gonna look like a shitty patch or a shitty patch your trying to hide
