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 ?

Common practice in this area is to NOT glue scarfed facia joints.

AAMOF, I don't think I've ever seen it done, and would expect that most
cornice crews around here would fall off the scaffolding if you asked them
to do it.

FWIW ...
