Broken hardiplank

[nospam4groups]

During an aggressive lawnmowing afternoon, I accidentally struck the corner edge of my hardiplank siding with my push mower. A roughly 4" x

4" x 2" triangular piece of hardiboard snapped right off.

Other than removing the entire board and replacing it, does anyone have any suggestions on how to best repair it?

"Glue it back on".

I think the idea would be to try to glue it back on to whatever it broke off from, mating the broken edge to the edge that it came from. Tomes

Guessing from the description:

1. Scrap wood.

1. Glue broken piece to scrap wood leaving enough scrap wood exposed to glue to the remaining big section. It should look like a 'handle'

2. Glue remaining scrape wood, the 'handle' to the remaining hardiplank.

Does this help?

Plant a bush or thick plant so that it hides the missing part. Muff

That's why you keep a bucket of scrap wood in your garage. You will make a backing out of a scrap piece of 1x4 and a couple of door shims and contact cement. Every home should have a package of door shims for just such occasions.

Thanks everyone for the helpful suggestions, I'm going to employ the scrap wood idea.
