If you siding is 1/2" thick, laying over the lower course, it should be no thicker than 5/8"-3/4" thick total, so the siding would only flush up to the filler and not project past the corner board filler. That would be the way I would suggest to go. If the original corner board was 3/4" it would have been a 1" filler to get the reveals past the corner and the siding. A 1/2" filler would not have worked against the siding. | |

So the current corner board now is 1" thick. Do you mean to add another one next to it but instead of 1", do either 3/4" or 1 1/4"? | |
