Surprising Method to Fix Siding Cracks Fast 

Viewers Hated my Siding Fix - What Went Wrong? ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-t8c5IsWDHTM.html

I had a few small holes in my vinyl siding about the size of a quarter from my neighbors lawn mower throwing rocks. I hired a handyman to repair it as best he could and he filled the holes with caulk and painted it to match. You really had to look closely to see the repairs because he blended it perfectly. I think he charged me $20 (this was 10 years ago).

Got rental property with vinyl siding and never knew this product existed. Thank you, Larry.

You cannot be serious. This looks terrible. Replace the siding, it’s so easy to do. A new piece of siding will take no time to fade into what is there. I’ve done it a bunch of times. What a terrible product.

Professional siding contactor here. I would repair both with actual siding for $50-75 plus the cost of 1 panel of siding. Nobody would know it was repaired either.

You and the Flex Tape guy are both very convincing.

🛠️🛠️Vinyl Siding Mending Patch: amzn.to/4b8LmyM

Thank you for this information. I need to patch several areas but thought I would have to replace the actual siding. This solution is something I can do myself.😅😊

I used water proof duct tape in beige like my house. Worked great. My son-in-law is not allowed to weed eat around my house any more. While I don't hate your fix, I just didn't know about this specific vinyl mending kit at the time. I did the best I could with what I could find at the time. I am happy I don't need to color match though. Your video brought together lots of options for repair. I'd call it a win.

Thank you for the information! I’m going to get what you recommended and try it.

take a sample of the siding to your paint store and have them color match the chip and make a quart of exterior paint, apply the patch, and then paint the patch. blends perfectly!

The colors match so perfectly!

Great information on small holes

Sorry to rain on your parade, but the repair sticks out like a sore thumb.

Thanks for the tip!

Thanks. I will try this.

Nice. I will definitely try this. I can do this myself. Easy and fast.

Thanks you that’s is just what I’m was looking for.

Thank u it works well

Great tip.

This video said color matching can be done. While the sign installer in me is squirming a little on the application, it's just a demo for a quick, easy, CHEAP fix that anybody can do. If you want the color to match, match the color instead of being a troll about it on RU-vid. If you want it to look a little better still, add a heat gun or hair dryer and a soft rubber brayer, to roll the vinyl into the texture better. Don't get too close with the heat, vinyl film (and siding) can melt or burn.

Nice little quick fix for the damaged siding. Mostly stucco where I live I wish I had a sticker for that lol.

Brilliant. Thank you

Thanks for sharing!

What a great idea

I bought a roll of white gorilla tape for mower hole. Works great

I just poked a hole in my second floor siding last week… i didn’t know the nails were pulled out a bit and the siding was buckling. I leaned out the 2nd story window and pushed it and a nail broke a hole through. I patched it temporarily with aluminum tape that looks bad but worked…Im going to pull and replace a few feet of the piece since i have to re nail it. Its white.

A good way to apply stickers is peel off only 1/2 an inch. Line up the sticker without touching the half inch side. Then apply the half inch side and peel off the rest of the backing.

great

Nice color match dude 😂

Well, anytime I brought my samples to the paint store. They never matched it perfectly at all so chances of that happening are zero but I would definitely use this if I had siding I live in Tucson so everyone out here has stucco, which would make it very easy to fix, this is a good fix if you don’t want to replace a section which would look stupid

Hi and thanks for the video, now that the patch has been on for some time and exposed to the elements how is it holding up?

I repaired decades old vinyl siding with original siding and it matched perfectly. Not hard to do and instant match and fix...

cool. I will try it and let you know what happens

I've done this on areas that aren't commonly seen, otherwise, we will take a piece of the old siding off of a part of the house that nobody really looks at and put a new piece there and then put that piece in place of the damaged piece - that way you don't have to worry about color matching as bad

This seems like a viable option for skirting around mobile homes that takes a beating from mowers and trimmers.

Any recommendations for an oil stain on white siding? It's olive oil specifically.

My wife does Cricut crafts (a bunch of it is adhesive vinyl) I wonder if that would work in a similar fashion?

Take a close up picture of the siding and Lowes can recreate paint that matches the actual color. Then you can paint a small piece of vinyl siding that matches too.

Think that this product might work on new mobile home skirting. Lawn maintenance company weed eater put a few holes in our new skirting.

Thank you for those of us who can't go out to get a strip or put it on...its he'll getting old

Where can you get this product at?

I'm going to pass this tip on to an apartment maintenance guy. His building needs it.

Will this work on a vinyl fence?

I just used a little piece of white duct tape on my white garage..Easy Breezy lemon Squeezy! Like new..

What about supporting the patch over the hole? Won't it leave a concave spot?

Dryer vent. DONE

I used a strip of duct tape. 😁 Cheap and EZ. I got beige tape and it nearly matches my siding.

Where can I get that stuff at

It may be easier to find a small piece of vinyl siding to cover the gap and paint to match.

I've just cut a little strip of extra siding. I then cut off of the siding strip with the nail holes. I then snap it over the hole.

How about vynial fencing?

How far back do I have to stand not to see that patch?

Perfect match !

You would have put a piece of duct tape over your holes and it would have look the same.

At least it helps keep water out from behind it. For a cheap temporary fix, it looks like it would be good!

BEEN DOING THIS KIND OF THING FOR YEARS

Foam it and match paint,, done

You might as well just put a sticker or decal on it! Looks worse now with color mismatched sticker😵

I feel like it sticks out worse to the eye than the crack did. I'd rather just replace the vinyl siding in my opinion. My new home has this same sort of damage in a small area from a baseball.

That’s a color match ?

I didn’t see the link to purchase this product

Not so sure that the surface will match after a period of time. ?

doesn't look good, insert some backing strips with adhesive through the hole and pull flush against the backside. You can glue a nailhead on to the strips so you can pull it outward until glue grabs. Once you have some backing strip installed fill with bondo etc. You can even engrave texture into the bondo. then paint. if paint does not match use acrylic paints to tint , walmart has small tubes of acrylic in craft section.

That sticker prob cost as much as 1 piece of vinyl. 😂

I would just buy the whole side that don't look good it will come apart in in the heat

Dr Grande?

Looks like you put duct tape on your house 🏠 😮

Step 1. Remive all the vinyl siding. Step 2. Replace with Hardie board. Step 3. Caulk and paint. No more vinyl siding cracking, molding, or coming off.

More beer,less fixing, problem solved.🤗😉🤗

Looked Ok except you should've had the color mixed exact your paint was darker...

Applying a sticker video. The long version.

Wow barely see that color difference 😅

Why didn't you color match. Those patches stick out worse than the holes. Good fix, terrible, lazy application. I don't get it???

Use Duck Tape- it last a long time.

So. A piece of duct tape?

No grain

Duct tape works just fine for me.

it still does not match the color-sticks out like a sore thumb.

better to use a piece of left over siding.

Rapid? Yes. Repair? Swing and a miss! Im surprised your logo isn't written on your shirt with a sharpie.

That patch looks worse than just leaving the hole . That's a hack job ! Remove the whole panel and replace with new piece

I just used Gorilla Tape Waterproof patch then painted it.

Let's looks like a great product didn't know it existed

And you think that looks good? For a few bucks you do it right.

Looks terrible. Color way off. Different texture. Easily see seems.

do not spray paint vinyl siding in direct sunlight will cause warping

This is a hack job. They do not hold up. The color is so far off. I would never let you work on my house. For faded siding you can remove a piece off the house that is less noticeable and you that for the repair piece and put the new piece on the spot you took off the house. It will be a perfect match for the repaired area. The other spot will fade I. And blend in perfectly. Do the job right the 1st time or don't do it at all. People be careful with this kind of handyman.

Just put masking tape over the whole or duct tape…🤯

12' panel of siding = $6

“A LITTLE BONDO AND A SPIT OF PAIN AND THAT WILL MAKE HER SOMETHING SHE AINT!

Would anyone believe the damage kids can do with a wiffle ball?

That color match is not even close.

impossibol to see the diference

No that's actually a sticker. Do you know vinyl sticker doesn't make it not a sticker.

Just slap a bullet hole decal over it. Problem solved.

No way looks like crap

That looks terrible. It looks like a piece of duct tape.

Ummm no thanks! Get the long piece and save the rest for other damages down the road!

Gotta be honest, both repairs look like SH*T !!!!
