Some of the plastic (fiberglass?) skirting pieces around my mobile home
have small (1" dia. or so) in them. From hitting by weed cutter cord, though I doubt it. Probably just decades of weather. Anyhow, any ideas of something easy to put over the holes, not too obvious? Save me a ton of money and work. TIA -- I love a good meal! That's why I don't cook. |

Epoxy is good and it comes in several colors. |

Lots of crawling but wouldn't the patches be less obvious if you do them from the inside? |

TIA Vinyl siding? I'm unfamiliar with a lot of that material. Example of vinyl siding please? How does to come - large pieces? Lots of crawling but wouldn't the patches be less obvious if you do them from the inside? Simple, but didn't think of that! Now to find something to put over the holes. -- I love a good meal!

Now to find something to put over the holes. http://www.homedepot.com/p/Cellwood-Progressions-Double-4-in-Khaki-Vinyl-Siding-PG40N4H/202666252 I think one can buy single pieces. The pieces are about ten feet long if I remember correctly. You could probably buy a single piece and cut it in two at the store to get it home. Tin snips will cut it. It comes in many colors so you should be able to find something close. |

A friend had a mobile home several years ago and he had the same problem with rocks from weed eating and mowing knocking holes in the skirting. Only thing to be done is replace the damaged areas. |

Not to pick a nit, but Ken is saying "skirting" which in not the same as "siding" in Dean's link. Skirting can be vertical or horizontal slats ~ 4 inches wide with a minor space between. https://tinyurl.com/hzryr3q |
