Hardi Board

[Bigbobdallas]

I live in a home about 50 years old and I want to replace the old fascia board.
I would like to use 1x6 Hardi board. I have a 1x2 on the fascia now and it is a truss gable. When I take of the gutters and then take off the 1x2 and the drip edge that is on now. I know I need to take it all off to the rafters. now first I have not found a 1x2 hardi board to replace the 1x2. Also what is the correct way to replace the drip tin that is on there now.

You'll have to have a sub fascia behind your Hardi trim, and to make a 1x2 rip it outta wider Hardi trim. It's kind of a pain working with the stuff, we use alot of Miratec for fascia and love it.

Bob, you can usually find Azec and other PVC based materials at your local Home Center: "B"Lowes, Homer D. and any other reputable contractor supply house. I know Stock Bldg. Supply carries Azec, and they are nationwide. When you miter your corner, and/or do butt joints, use an all purpose PVC cleaner/cement to seal the joints and prevent gaps. DO NOT use a trim-blade when you cut the stuff. The high tooth-count will generate too much heat and melt the PVC. I use a 44 or 60 tooth blade on my miter saw (12" slider) and I cut as quick as I can to prevent heat build up, but slow enough so it doen't chip or shatter the plastic.
