Repair Hole In Hardboard Siding

I'm looking for suggestions for repairing a hole in hardboard siding. The hole is about 2 inches wide. I would like the finish to be flush with the siding and blend in as much as possible. I'll prime and paint to finish it off.

Thanks for your help.

Re: Repair Hole In Hardboard Siding

Stared at this five times.. dunno what to tell you, i'll assume you are talking hardiplank, should be replaced if there's a two inch hole in it. Other than that, maybe a latex exterior putty would work, but two inches..................

Remove firring strips on either side of the panel, pry it out and replace with a new one.

Invest in a cats paw.

Re: Repair Hole In Hardboard Siding

I agree with replacing the siding piece, but...

sometimes there is some reason not to, and you could cut the hole into a square, and then plug it with a piece of wood that is epoxied in place. Then just belt sand it smooth.

Just a thought.
