Question

Vinyl Siding - Which Size J-Channel for Soffit Panels?

Hi everyone,

I am currently residing my place. The siding I am using uses 5/8 J-Channel. I placed one of the vinyl soffit vents in the 5/8 J-Channel and there is was too much extra space which leads me to think I need to get narrower J-Channel. Is there a standard J-Channel size for soffit panels?

siding nail set issue

K

kakashi on Oct 20, 2015

I am about to re-paint my exterior part of home that is part brick and part siding. I want the wood to last long and it hasn't been painted for 7-8years. I can see paint is fading in Texas heat and nails are showing on siding. my question: I want to set my nail 1/4" in to the siding, most are not and then cover them with wood filer, sand if needed and then paint the home after power washing the wood. that way it will give a clean look. I have purchased nail set like this one [url=http://www.homedepot.com/p/DEWALT-1-32-in-2-32-in-3-32-in-Bi-Material-Nail-Set-3-Piece-DWHT58018/203638542]DEWALT 1/32 in., 2/32 in., 3/32 in. Bi-Material Nail Set (3-Piece)-DWHT58018 - The Home Depot[/url] that use with hammer to set the nail. But the nails refuse to set no matter how many times I hit the hammer. There are hundreds of nails. I dont mind doing it one by one with hammer if they would move. This home is 10 years old. Is their Nail set gun available to make job allot cleaner and faster? also for any rusty nails, to prevent future rust. I was going to use this, what you guys think: [URL="http://www.homedepot.com/p/KILZ-1-gal-White-Oil-Based-Interior-Exterior-Primer-Sealer-and-Stain-Blocker-L101301/202259195?storeId=10051&langId=-1&catalogId=10053"]http://www.homedepot.com/p/KILZ-1-gal-White-Oil-Based-Interior-Exterior-Primer-Sealer-and-Stain-Blocker-L101301/202259195?storeId=10051&langId=-1&catalogId=10053[/URL] need suggestion please.Read More
