Thanks millions...! I have a cedar sided house (built in 1949) which needs attention. Cedar is dry and cracked in some places, but not rotten. I can't afford new siding, so this looks like the solution.

[@BorsellinoHomeServices]

This will definitely work! I'm all for keeping the existing wood on the house as long as possible!

[@toeachitsown2050]

Should we be spraying this type of siding for bugs? Wondering how to maintain it, as we bought a house with this kind of siding and never had wood before

[@walterjoncas12]

Nice helpful tip. Thank You.

[@BorsellinoHomeServices]

Glad it was helpful!

I had a Wheee Doggie moment I have board and batten on my shed will used that to fill in some gaps Thank you

[@BorsellinoHomeServices]

WHEEEEE DOGGIE!!!!!!!!

[@overtonegamer]

Backer rod good. Dynaflex 230 bad for exterior. Get some Geocell 2300 and the repair will outlast the house.

[@thomasechols8834]

I have seen backer rod and self leveling silicone used for decades on concrete, no reason that the same concept won't work in most other places, despite gravity.

[@BorsellinoHomeServices]

yeah once the caulk dries it's not going anywhere
