I was trying to patch some holes in my vinyl siding. I thought PVC
plumbing glue should work, so I used the cleaner and then the glue for
PVC pipe, but it doesn't bond the pieces together, I tried CPVC also and
it did not bond. I've researched this some and I don't find any glue
specifically for vinyl siding. Anyone know what will work?

You may try silicone, but remember, the stuff moves with the changes in
temperature and you have have problems with it.

I found that GE Silicone will stick to vinyl siding. I roughed up the
area with 220 grit sandpaper first.

For small patches just use plain old contact cement, it works great! If
you have a small hole just cut a piece of siding a bit bigger and put
the cement on both the siding and the patch, let dry a few minutes, and
then put it in place.

Andersen Windows company makes a vinyl cement but they also say that
swimming pool vinyl liner cement works fine. Should be labled vinyl to
vinyl cement.
