Repair Stucco Crack Cheap & Easy

Watch on YouTube

What happens here

The video introduces the project, which is to repair cracks in stucco. The presenter highlights that cracks can appear even after stucco has been sprayed, and a special method is needed to fill them so they won't be visible after subsequent spraying and back-rolling. He introduces the main materials: a masonry elastomeric type caulking that contains sand to match the stucco texture, and a sponge (preferably a 'beat-up' one with a brillo pad) to help blend the caulk into the existing texture. The caulking is described as thin, very flexible, and able to bond well to both sides of the crack without cracking.

Goal: Understand the problem and the specialized materials needed for stucco crack repair.

Tools and materials

  • Caulking Gun — Dispensing the elastomeric masonry caulking
  • Sponge with Brillo Pad — Dabbing and blending the caulking to match the stucco texture
  • Elastomeric Masonry Caulking — Filling and sealing cracks in stucco
