The product is not meant to be used for cracks where expansion and contraction may occur. If you secure a plug or mesh over the woodpecker hole and then fill it with the Platinum Patch, there shouldn’t be any expansion or contraction issues. If you were filling a crack that has gotten bigger over time, then you would want to use an exterior product that allows for some flex/expansion.

The container says not to use it to fill cracks or joints? I woodpecker size hole in siding is approximately 2 inches around and leaves a void in the wall equal in depth to the size of your exterior framing, (3.5 inch for 2×4 or 5.5 inch deep if 2×6 framing etc). The instructions say to not use deeper than 1/8 inch at a time. If I must fill woodpecker size hole with some kind of plug first that will leave cracks around the plug and existing hole which the product instructions says not to use product to fill cracks. I am confused as to how to use this product.

As long as the cracks are not growing, it should work just fine. If you notice that the cracks are new and/or are growing, then I would choose a different product that will allow for a bit of expansion.

I’ve been noticing quite a few of those on our home recently.
