Has anyone used Benjamin Obydykes home slicker under Hardie board fiber cement siding? I’m thinking of using the smooth Hardiplank lap siding 7 1/4 (6″ exposure). I would use the pre primed with one coat of finish, blind nailed, mechanically fastened with a siding nailer using 6’s, to be followed up with appropriate caulking and a finish coat of acrylic latex paint. I like the idea of a drainage plane between the sidng and the vapor barrier, but it seems like nobody around here, (East end of Long Island, N.Y.) is using it. All the manufacturers are recommending back and end priming too, but once again, nobody seems to be doing that either! Hmmm….Doug
