Repairing and Prepping Stucco for Airless Spraying

What happens here

On day two, after the pressure-washed walls have dried, the presenter begins the patching and caulking phase. He displays the materials: a caulking gun with "Mega Elastic" caulk and several tubs of Sika Pro Select Ready-Mix Stucco Patch. He explains that he will be addressing cracks and areas with peeling paint or damaged stucco, differentiating between "functional" caulking (for cracks) and "aesthetic" caulking. He indicates that some high-up areas have peeling paint and damaged stucco due to water getting behind previous coatings.

Goal: Gather materials and understand the next steps for repairing stucco and sealing cracks.
