I am currently installing 1/2×8 cedar clapboards on a custom home with two round bays.The round bays have a very large radius and the siding takes the bend easily,the problem is the top of the siding does not want to roll in and just gets progressively worse with each coures.Nailing the top does not work and the siding is to thin to rabbet the back so the back sits flat on the sheathing.Any suggestions?
