Caulking Brick? How to Caulk Textured Surfaces!
What happens here
As an alternative for specific applications, the presenter introduces Tower Sealants' Elastomeric Patching Compound, specifically a 'Category 5' product that is 'textured' or 'sanded.' This compound is ideal for repairing cracks in surfaces where maintaining an existing texture is important, such as stucco or concrete block walls. Unlike smooth caulk, this textured compound ensures that filled areas do not result in 'smooth spots' that would contrast with the surrounding rough material, providing a more consistent and aesthetically pleasing finish, especially when these surfaces are painted. It also boasts 'really good adhesion' and 'really good flexibility.'
Goal: The presenter introduces a textured elastomeric patching compound for repairing cracks in rougher surfaces like block or stucco, ensuring a matching texture.
