Repair Stucco Crack Cheap & Easy

Watch on YouTube

What happens here

The presenter highlights the key materials for the repair: an elastomeric masonry caulking and a sponge. He explains that the masonry caulking is preferred because it contains sand, allowing it to match the stucco's texture. He emphasizes its flexibility, ensuring it won't crack after application, and its strong bonding to both sides of the crack. For blending, he recommends using a 'beat-up' sponge, ideally one with a Brillo pad, as it aids in the dabbing process to blend the caulk seamlessly with the existing stucco texture.

Goal: Prepare the necessary caulking and blending tools

Tools and materials

  • Caulk Gun — Dispensing the elastomeric masonry caulking
  • Bucket of Water N/A — Keeping the sponge wet and clean during the blending process
  • Elastomeric Masonry Caulking — Filling and sealing cracks in stucco surfaces. The sanded texture helps it blend with the stucco
  • Sponge with Brillo Pad — Dabbing and blending the caulk into the stucco texture to create a seamless finish

then we typically use a masonry elastomeric type caulking and the masonry caulking is kind of sanded and it has sand in it so it matches the stucco really really well so here's some of the the caulking right here it's kind of a thin product but very flexible won't crack and it bonds to both sides of the crack very well and once again has kind of the texture of stucco I like to use a sponge to help this process of getting it to blend in typically like a sponge kind of a beat up one with a brillo pad on the end because it helps the dabbing process in getting it to blend in I'm gonna take and cut my tube
