Just saved me a headache! Our new house has a single room addition with vinyl siding touching thr ground and I was looking for a way to remedy this and avoid any rot since the previous owner went nutty with the string trimmer... thanks!
Agreed. I don't get it. You are fixing every 16" or 24". I don't see expansion being an issue. Discussing what type of joint to use mid-span is reasonable but I don't understand why he is talking about expansion being a factor.
Having worked quite a bit with plastics I'm always a bit concerned about the expansion coefficient either warping or tearing loose plastic members no matter how solidly fastened. Is cellular PVC less prone than either PVC sheet or PVC window frame material?
Hello, I have received conflicting information whether I should have the vapor barrier behind the water table. I am retrofitting a water table to a house with vertical panel siding. Would appreciate your advice on this. Thank you so much!
Searching for the same. From another video (assembling a window frame) I think I see " Kleer two-part pvc adhesive, cures 4-7minutes" and I found a kleerlumber site that shows the products and this 4-7min is their slower curing adhesive. I just can't find where to buy it anywhere near me yet. Fine Homebuilding really let us down on these videos not showing the adhesive product used. Sigh. [Further edit: I found the resources site for the Kleer product line: kleerlumber.com/resources/ -- for future readers, go to that link and click on the adhesive brochure. Info on both cement and adhesive products for this trim line. There are other lines of pvc trim, and I assume they have their own line of adhesives and cements. Which may be why FH doesn't give a lot of time to the product they're using. But a discussion of adhesives and properties and which to use where would have been helpful. ]
@@BrockWester thanks. I spent a good amount of time researching which adhesives/cements to use for my purpose. For future viewers here, to clear up confusion... I refer you to a short manufacturer's video. (Not recommending that manufacturer, I don't know about it.) I assumed the advice applies to all PVC trim. The video covers very briefly the different uses by category, and what type of sealant/adhesive to use for each category. Here are the notes I made. It cleared up my own confusion at the time: 1. Sealant situations (to prevent water penetration between trim pieces into the exterior wall; it uses the example of what looks like a skirt board seam). Use sealant containing solvent, and tells how to recognize them when buying. Do not use silicone. It talks about adherence to the trim, and elasticity (not drying out over time). 2. Gluing the trim to itself (welding pieces). Recommend PVC glues like Weld-on 705, set up times of 3 to 5 minutes, and do not put glue on both surfaces, wait 10mins, and do not stress joint for 24hrs. 3. Bonding PVC to wood like a subfascia. Use heavy duty construction adhesives, examples given. 4. Bonding PVC to metal/block/concrete, use a two-part methylmethaculate (sp?), examples given.

Awesome video, not what I was looking for but so informative and well presented that I watched in it's entirety. Great job.
Great job explaining and craftsmanship!
Love this series, I'm curious as to how the water board is going to expand and contract when you're screwing it with 3 screws every 16"
Agreed. I don't get it. You are fixing every 16" or 24". I don't see expansion being an issue. Discussing what type of joint to use mid-span is reasonable but I don't understand why he is talking about expansion being a factor.
what was that pvc glue? looked like a two part?

Informative video. Just would like to know where you can find those metal clamps you used and what they are called.
Collins Miter Clamps...they are on amazon work great come with the tool
what type of sealant are you using to join the corners? looked like a 2 part epoxy?

@@rwind656A single component PVC cement could work as well (e.g., Oatey-32-oz-Heavy-Duty-Clear-PVC-Cement)
