As a painter for a municipal govt. in the Southwest I had to do a lot of cracked stucco repair. I basically used the same technique you are doing, but instead of using a sponge to blend in the caulk I found that tapping the caulk in with a wet stiff bristled brush worked quite well. If the stucco had a rougher texture I would sometime work some sand into the caulk after it was textured.

thats a good technique to raise the caulking and give it a knock down if thats the type of finish they have..i like watching these videos to compare to my practice and helps me learn some new tricks or sometimes helps me find a better more efficient way of doing my job. nice to see another seasoned painter with an open mind to how others work

Thank you for the info. I bought a brand new house in AZ a little over a year ago, at the 1yr inspection there were some pretty big cracks in the stucco and i was able to get the contractor to fix but now i see more cracks showing showing up so now I can fix them myself😀

I gotta testify, I just read Colossians 3:1-2 this morning and then I watched this video and saw “Colossians 3:1-2” at the bottom of the screen! Awesome! We have a church in the French Quarter here in New Orleans and we’re painting the building. I used to be a pro painter but never dealt with stucco. This video was helpful -- thanks!

I keep a very wet rag with me and I wipe the caulk really well. It is another fast way to prevent any flashing from the caulk. I'm in Northeast Florida and 90% if my business is ext stucco repair/repaints. I also like to have a guy go ahead of the sprayer and hit the area's we caulked with a hotdog roller or even a 9/18" roller if it's easier. We backroll all our stucco anyway so there's a roller in the body already.

Great video.... I just finished filling stucco cracks on one exterior wall. Two story house 21 years old lots to fill. Looks to be about 3 tubes of caulk for each side of the house. Found the same caulk at Lowe’s for just under $8.00 a tube. Even cheaper on line if you have time to wait for it. This caulk works great so far, tomorrow all paint over it to see how it looks under paint.

Which brand of caulking are you using here? In another video you were using White Lightning Megalastic caulking, but I don't believe that one has sand in it (maybe sand would not work with the super stretchy caulk?). Can the old sponge be used for texturing, in lieu of the sand? My wall gets a lot of sun and I'm looking for the best flexible caulking with texture for that. Thank you.

@jamesbasye2362 Жыл бұрын

Ive found that with rough stucko textures you can just fill with an acrylic siliconized caulk and just fill only the crack and clean with wet rag, the paint i use is elastomeric, also ive found 90 percent of those cracks will go away if you fill them up with paint before you spray and backroll.

It appears that you went right to work on filling the existing crack without any prep. other videos suggest widening the crack to 1/4" with a chisel so that the new "caulk' goes in deeper and grips better. Your thoughts?

@luissonoma6255 2 жыл бұрын

That’s where I’m at. I’m going to purchase a crack chasing grinder blade and use that for the cracks. A buddy of mine suggested it. He also mentioned to use a compressor to blow out the dust afterwards and then to use a disposable brush and apply xylene so that the caulk will adhere better. He says that he uses Dymonic 100.

I have been doing it this way for over 3 decades now and have never had a problem with payments. I also have a clause that states if they are not happy with any work completed to please phone me and I will correct it straight away, something that so far I have only had to do once.
