FAQs
Q: Will this weaken the siding where you punch the slot?
A: The slot is designed for fastening points, so it does not weaken the panel when used in the nailing flange area as intended.
Q: Can you extend an existing slot with this, or only make new ones?
A: It can be used to extend existing nail slots as well as create new ones when alignment is off.
Q: Do you have to be exact with placement, or is there some forgiveness?
A: There is some flexibility, but placement still matters to ensure the fastener sits correctly and allows proper panel movement.
