Do you remember how it had to be hung loosely with nails in slots? Do you remember all the beer you drank......oh, sorry for the off-tangent. This was to allow for expansion and contraction.
I'm not sure what the CLTE of the specific blend of resin/filler Steve's using is, but it is a concern for me. Problems may be seen with fasteners pulling out or pieces cracking.

Good memory about the siding, however it was quartersawn Northern Yellow Pine clapboard, not Vinyl. Face nailed into the studs. In fact I just finished sinking all the nailheads and filling the holes. Its ready for the paint topcoat.
Yes I did drink heavily, but how does that differ from any other morning???
