  • please do not thy this on you home is stupid process..

  • @grillostucco At least I can spell!

  • Problem is that paint does NOT like to stick to Siliconized caulks. Elastomeric Caulk is the appropriate caulk for stucco. Available in Sanded or Smooth. The ONLY paint that should ever be used on Stucco is Elastomeric Masonry coating. It covers cracks larger than that PERMANENTLY, and stays flexible. It is like a rubber coating for the stucco. NO CRACKS will appear again! Even if they exist underneath. Painting contractors never recommend because it is Labor-Intensive to apply.

  • @aldo9564 You dont know what your talking about. Siliconized latex caulking is easy to paint over, especially if you clean off the excess with a sponge. The reason why painters dont use elastomeric paint is because when moisture finally gets behind it it peels off in giant sheets and looks hideous. If you want to give a demo on painting then make your own video.

  • i really like this video, it's informative. but I want to ask, if it comes out white but transparent when dried, isn't that going to reveal the shadow of the crack again?

  • @firelemon it may a little depending on the color of the house. keep in mind that the white caulk is going to get all over the outside of the crack. the clear will not be visible when this happens.

see all

  • You should delete your rubbish and dedicate yourself to something else.

    Just because you can make a video doesn't mean you know what the hell you doing. More damage has been done by idiots like you using caulk that one can possibly imagine. Fixing you the damage that you've done will cost 3 to 5 times your Fee for screwing it up in the 1st place

    Your video is a perfect example of what not to do home repair. To repair stucco use a lime mortar based product to which one can add a latex additive to give it more workability and flexibility

  • Great tips. Nice job on the vid. Working on my chimney today. Thanks.

  • very educative video, thanks !!!

  • Great tip. I had a contractor fix a wall that had water damage from leaking stucco and he used silicone caulking on the outside but it doesn't look as good as this turned out. What brand is the caulk you used and where would I get it? There are so many on the market at places like Lowes. Thanks again for the great tip and demo.

  • @Felton209 Latex is actually PAINT-ABLE but not actually Silicone. It is acrylic based, as per the label, right?
