Are there any lumberyards in the Massachusetts area that sell small scrap pieces of AZEK/PVC trim-boards? I need to patch some rotting wood trim and don’t really want to buy a full 18-footer.

Buy the full piece. I guarantee you'll find a use for the left over stuff.
Hi -Where are you in MA? I have some scraps - I'm in Sharon MA ... Bill.
Carby's in Framingham sells half sticks (9') of Koma.
Perfect! I'm in Maynard -- spitting distance from there. Thanks!!!- Toolfreak
Small world. I just moved in January from Natick to Stow. We're neighbors for cryin' out loud!
Thanks again for the tip. I went to Carby's today. I noticed the Koma seems a bit lighter than AZEK and cuts a little more like wood (without the burnt plastic stink). How long have you been working with it? - Toolfreak
Only a couple years. I am not partial to either Koma or Azek... pretty much use whichever gets delivered (I'm a framer... don't supply a lot of materials) or what's available depending on the yard I'm at. If I had to pick, I think I'd pick Azek as the inside seem a little more consistent than the Koma.... so it tools a bit better with router bits. Just my two cents.
