Caulk Stucco Cracks

What happens here

For cracks in stucco or block walls, use an elastomeric textured caulk (like Tower Category 5). Load the caulk into a caulk gun and apply it deeply into the crack, rather than just skimming the surface. The elastomeric property allows it to bond well and stretch with the wall's expansion and contraction, preventing future cracking. Smooth the caulk with a gloved finger to give it a textured finish that mimics the wall, making the repair less noticeable.

Goal: Seal cracks in stucco or block walls using textured elastomeric caulk, ensuring deep penetration and a natural-looking finish.
