So bonding the joints with that glue doesn't cause any expansion/contraction issues? If they are bonded they won't be able to expand contract, that doesn't cause fasteners to pull out or buckling due to the inability to move?

I'm about to use pvc trim to trim around my tile countertops, Cortex doesn't make screws and plugs less than about 2.5" so I bought some trim screws in #8 1.5" with heads slightly less than 1/4". I plan to cut my own pvc 1/4" plugs, it is just theory that this should work but I wish Cortex made them shorter for interior work. Yes, I've watched the part of using the pvc eraser for recessed nails but I want to and need to use screws (at least right now I'm convinced so). The reason I don't want to use 2.5" length screws is that my countertops are porcelain and if the screw strayed off course it could get shattered (big time trouble).

I am planning to use Azek for fascia and rake on a gable house. Since I’ll be working alone My plan is to glue up all my 45 degree corners and attach them first then I will fill in between with straight cuts
Should I use butt joint or should I bevel on a 45 when attaching the straight sections?. Bevel will make glueing much easier as with a butt the glue would glue out when sliding a tight fit in.

I might have missed it. Does that Azek crayon hold paint? My trim will be painted a non-white color. Does it have to dry before it gets painted? Thanks.

My concern is there is no need to use any J. But how does the water stay out?

Is there anyway to make the seam between the butt joint seamless, or smooth like 1 piece
