[Shop-talk] Vinyl siding

[bjshov8 at tx.rr.com]

My guess, off the top of my head:
Find some repair material, either similar plastic or maybe even sheet metal.  Cut a strip with width just less than the largest dimension of the opening, so the strip will slip through the opening.  Make the length of the strip equal to about twice the dimension of the opening.  Tie a string around the middle of the strip.  Put glue on each end of the strip, push the entire strip through the opening, use the string to pull it back against the inside surface of the siding.  It should now fill the opening or almost fill the opening.  After the glue dries you can caulk the surface if desired and paint to match.  The biggest challenge would seem to be finding a glue that will bond to the vinyl siding.
