Best Adhesive for Cement Siding to Cedar?​

When I moved the wood PILE I found a hanging edge of Hardiplank that was broked and gone at the bottom. I think I know the guy who broke it. New ZT meet Mr Flying Rock! Anyway I have a plan.

Cut square.
Cut matching piece of side
Screw and glue a backing piece of cedar 3/4"x 1.5"x~9". This piece will be hidden.
Attach matching piece to backing cedar. What glue??
Fill, prime ready for final paint.

It will never be perfect but better than a missing hunk.

I'm partial to this stuff. Used it for a plethora of things inside and outside. It be super strong.

The shrink/swell of cedar with weather changes is going to be problematic with any adhesive. A scrap of hardiplank might be better.

That being said, 3m 4200 or West System Gflex could be considered.

I'd use that.
If it's in the sun, thermal cycles may still loosen it over time.

That will work well. Just make sure the surfaces are clean and dry and no rain is expected for at least 24 hours.

Contractors/builders glue. The stuff they use to glue floor boards to the joices. Once it sets you will never get it undone.

Of course that is the only one the store was out of. They had quite a few variants though. I'll post some pics later

I'm using small stainless screws, so it won't be 100% dependent on the adhesive. I thought about using the siding as the backing but screws don't exactly grip to it well. I think the cedar will do ok. Not wet and not direct sun.

I don't know about cedar but I tried to use gorilla glue construction adhesive on treated pine. The posts and tops were perfectly dry - the posts several years old and the caps I had sawn at several months early. Not one of them held. Not at all. There is zero force on these - they sit on top the posts.

Trying to figure out what to try next. Maybe a screw.

Cedar is oily which is why it weathers so well. I'm thinking a piece of exterior grade of plywood planned down to the exact thickness you need would be better.

I hate cutting this stuff. It's just nasty. Ruins every blade. And NO the piece I had was not even close to the same fake pattern. Will fill artfully and prime tomorrow.

Can you hang a hose caddy or similar in front of it?

It's not in what I would call a high vis area. Think wood pile, propane tank, piles of pots. Better than the missing chunk and once filled and painted, should be ok.
