Exterior PVC Trim: Weathertight Outside Corners

On this restoration, the entryway recedes into the building, creating an outside corner to either side. With such a close-up view, crafting a weathertight outside corner with a joint that won’t open is especially important. This can be a challenge when restoring an old building, since things aren’t always plumb and square, forcing a fair amount of cutting and fitting prior to any glue.
In this second episode of our PVC trim series, lead carpenter Dan Booth walks us through the process of measuring and fitting VERSATEX PVC trimboards before using the “tape method” to glue up weathertight outside corners.
