What happens here

Inspect the concrete deck for any existing cracks. Apply "Big Stretch" latex caulking to fill these cracks. This particular caulk dries quickly, allowing for subsequent staining without significant delay. Filling the cracks with caulk not only improves the aesthetic appearance of the deck but also helps to prevent ants from nesting and weeds from growing within them.

Goal: Repair and seal cracks in the concrete surface.

What they say

Hide

9-in nap or 9-in roller. So, we do have some cracks in this concrete here. And I'm going to be cocking them with a latex cocking called Big Stretch. And it's a latex cocking and it it dries really fast so we can go back over and coat it really quickly. So, I'm just going to be cocking all these cracks so the deck looks a lot nicer. Cocking these cracks keeps um there's a lot of ants out here. Keeps the ants out of the cracks from living in the cracks or coming out of the cracks. Keeps weeds from growing in them, too.
