Hello,
I just replaced the framing around an exterior door, and need to patch some of the exterior sheathing (ideally a small area 2"x3") which is something called "Energy Brace Structural Sheathing" from a company that doesn't seem to exist anymore. It is is very thin (about 1/8 inch) fiber-board material and is fastened directly to the studs. No other material between the studs and vinyl siding...
Putting aside for a moment my concern about the structural integrity of all of this, I can't find a similar material to patch this area. I don't want to use a thicker material (OSB etc) since this this will probably be noticeable under the siding.
Thanks for your help.
