A: Use the included Cortex setting tool to drive the screw to the optimal depth. The precision design ensures each plug fits seamlessly into place.
Q: Is this system compatible with other fascia board materials?

A: FastenMaster recommends installing three fasteners every 18 inches on 12-inch fascia boards and two fasteners for 8-inch fascia boards.
