Scarf jointing fascia boards

Fitting a number of new fascias to a new project.
Paid extra to get 1" finished thickness softwood & moulding I
wanted.
For joints mid run, intend using 45 degree scarf joints (lined up
over
rafter end) .... should these be glued or left dry ?
Finish will be dark wood stain.
45 on 1" material isn't much of a scarf compared to a normal 8:1 or
10:1, I typically see.
Have you thought about adding biscuits to strengthen joint and hold
pieces in position?
I'd definitely use glue.
YMMV
