Hi guys, just curious how to attach new gutter down spouts to a house with asbestos siding. Use old holes ?

If you can use the old holes, put some silicone in the holes and re-use them by all means...otherwise use a 3/4" zip-in and don't strip it out, you'll be juuuust fine.

You dont think the screws will crack the asbestos ?

Pre drill and dont over tighten

Drills asbestos ?

I'd pre drill as well. Cracked a few back in the day and learned the hard way.

Yes if you want to be a huge puss about it you could put a glob of shaving cream on the siding where your about to drill to prevent dust.

Exactly...it's really not that bad unless you work with it every day...
