I use titebond III for almost all of my woodworking -- good stuff.  Any reason you didn't also use that on the fascia boards instead of the loctite (no criticism intended - just curious)?  Ease of application?

Titebond III needs to be FIRMLY clamped and in 100% contact with the surfaces to bond.  The Loctite construction adhesive can span gaps and still provide a very solid bond.  Typically, I see Titebond III on flat surface, not on something like curved fascia where you're almost certain to have at least some small gaps.  For the fascia, the construction adhesive was a better choice.

Will the fascia extend above the level of the layout ? 

No, exactly level with the surface when I get done trimming/sanding the top to be level with the Homasote.  That comes after the clamps come off and the adhesive is 100% set.
