What exactly is this stuff and how to patch it.

Wasn't able to post on Absent Minded Farmer's post

Assuming it is an insulating board I would just stuff as much fiberglass insulation into the hole so that the cavity is full below the hole. Then inject expanding foam into the hole and let some of it expand out of the hole. Once dry shave it off flush with a butcher knife. From there I would put some kind of metal flashing over the area before you put the siding back. That would prevent any varmit from coming through again.
 
Me being cheap as I am I would fill the hole with that spray foam insulation trim it off then cover with some flat metal and even a tin can laid over it would do the trick. I still remember one of my grand fathers shed being cover with tin cans
 
I learned a long time ago if one keeps it simple and cheap many times that works better then spending a lot of $$ to fix things
 
You could have cardboard there and the expanding foam wouldn't push it out. It just takes the shape of what ever cavity is there.

After I got back from Viet Nam, I went to work at Rohr Corp. It was an aircraft plant. We used to get stabilizers sent back to us from damaged aircraft for repairs. They had many flattened out beer cans pop riveted on them covering bullet holes.

Talk about farmerized repairs.... :wink:
