- Continuing to improve one of my investment properties, getting the exterior of this place all wrapped up. In this video I show you a few tricks and tips I have found while bending fascia on a siding brake. I am in no way a professional--always working to improve. Comment below with your tips.
Be sure to check out the end of the video for a full exterior walk around.
Thanks for watching!
i hem both sides along the length for rigidity and to prevent buckling.
Thanks, this is the best tip anyone has left me on my channel. I will be sure to try that on my next job. Makes a lot of sense.
@@handylandlord .....you also can try doing a over-bend (max allowed with you brake) 'without a flat hem' when the fascia will have a gutter, obviously the over-bend goes outward. It adds the rigidity and kicks the drip-edge out a little off the fascia and keeps water from tracking (surface tension) the drip-edge to the fascia. It also keeps the drip-edge in a uniform straight line along the fascia trim. I only do this where gutters will be. Copy and paste the the link below, great explanation. Give it a try and have fun.

Very helpful thank you for posting
jacob lawson No problem. Thanks for watching.
Whats the thickness of your aluminum and what’s that cool cutting tool you used to cut lengthwise??
The tool is called a slitter.
Can vinyl be bent the same way?
No I don’t think so… It will not hold the bend but I’ve never tried. U can normally buy white vinyl from Home Depot with a 90 bend for fascia.
Can you still get parts for the sidding brake?
No I don’t think parts are available. Thankfully I haven’t needed anything. Someone was telling me some of the parts are interchangeable with other brand brake. I picked it up off marketplace for $400 several years ago. Before that I was renting a brake 5 to 8 times a year.
