Please help on how to remove this tape residue from siding

My wife put up birthday party decorations on the siding of our house using tape. When the decorations came down, the tape residue stayed on the siding ( it’s aluminum) and now I can’t get it off . I tried almost everything and if I scrub too hard it takes the pain right off . Thanks for any advice !

What did you try? Goo-Gone, Goof-Off? Heat gun? Try using some silicone spray.

What type of tape? Sometimes mineral spirits works.

Lightly spray with WD-40, let it sit a few minutes then wipe off.

Fixing rotten cedar siding, discover rot underneath

R

ricksterbc44 on Aug 04, 2019

I finally got around to addressing the rotten siding on the side of our house and noticed the rot underneath when I pulled the pieces off. It looks like a portion of the sill plate and the stud is rotten and there is some rotting also happening around the frame of the window above. How do I go about solving this problem? Needless to say, my original plan of just replacing the siding is off the table. Thanks [attach]107726[/attach] [attach]107727[/attach] [attach]107728[/attach]Read More

Vinyl soffit matterial on gable

Marq1 on Aug 11, 2019

I am building my shed and working on soffit material, I went with rough cut fascia boards and subsequently am using (2) "F" channels to capture the soffit material. No issues on the horizontal portion , soffit material is locked in place but on my gables the material is sliding down the channels. The way I constructed my ladder overhangs I dont have anything to nail too! On the section I completed yesterday after the pieces were locked together I drove a screw in the middle of the top edge to secure and the other pieces are just hanging down from it. I cant find any reference to this yet I've had several houses with rough cut fascia boards and vinyl soffits. Is this how it's done?Read More
