As a painter for a municipal govt. in the Southwest I had to do a lot of cracked stucco repair. I basically used the same technique you are doing, but instead of using a sponge to blend in the caulk I found that tapping the caulk in with a wet stiff bristled brush worked quite well. If the stucco had a rougher texture I would sometime work some sand into the caulk after it was textured.
thats a good technique to raise the caulking and give it a knock down if thats the type of finish they have..i like watching these videos to compare to my practice and helps me learn some new tricks or sometimes helps me find a better more efficient way of doing my job. nice to see another seasoned painter with an open mind to how others work
Thank you for the info. I bought a brand new house in AZ a little over a year ago, at the 1yr inspection there were some pretty big cracks in the stucco and i was able to get the contractor to fix but now i see more cracks showing showing up so now I can fix them myself😀
I gotta testify, I just read Colossians 3:1-2 this morning and then I watched this video and saw “Colossians 3:1-2” at the bottom of the screen! Awesome! We have a church in the French Quarter here in New Orleans and we’re painting the building. I used to be a pro painter but never dealt with stucco. This video was helpful -- thanks!
Thank you so much! You were the first video I've watched on repairing my cracks & don't need to watch more. I liked and subscribed.
I was going to grind my cracks down and patch. Now I'm just going to use your technique, looks like such a time saver.
You literally just save me so much money- Thanks 🙏🏽
You are the man!!! I like the use of the sponge!
Great tips! Thank you for your help and video.
Really great tip Chris. Thanks
Great video. Very efficient and informative. No wasted over explanation or fluff. To the point. Thank u!

Thanks for the important info brother
Very helpful! Thank you
You saved some $$ Sir. Thank you.
Thanks for the video!
Thank you sir, good videos, bless you.
Thanks - good tips!
i use a chip brush to push and blend. i do the same process for wood trim, with regular caulk.
Thanks for sharing!
Great tips- thanks!
Thanks for watching!
I'm sure uveitis heard this but u look exactly like Stone Cold Steve Austin it's amazing. U do a great job by the way. Ty for the info.
Thanks for the easy information.. Was able to repair stucco and save money! I told my painter I got tips from John Cena! 👍👍👍
M
Yes!!! John Cena... I see you!! 😆
Big thanks. I am about to fix some cracks.
Good luck
Thanks!
Thank you!
I keep a very wet rag with me and I wipe the caulk really well. It is another fast way to prevent any flashing from the caulk. I'm in Northeast Florida and 90% if my business is ext stucco repair/repaints. I also like to have a guy go ahead of the sprayer and hit the area's we caulked with a hotdog roller or even a 9/18" roller if it's easier. We backroll all our stucco anyway so there's a roller in the body already.
Awesome, thanks for sharing!
Thank you
Great video!!!
Very useful info! Thank you!
Thanks for watching Jeffrey!
Paint Life TV I learn something valuable from you from every episode.
Thanks Chris
You are welcome!
I would love to see what it looks like after paint! I am about to do this (for a friend) so I would love to know more, thanks!!!
Will do!
@@Idahopainter Did you post an after pic of this? Would be great to see
Great video.... I just finished filling stucco cracks on one exterior wall. Two story house 21 years old lots to fill. Looks to be about 3 tubes of caulk for each side of the house. Found the same caulk at Lowe’s for just under $8.00 a tube. Even cheaper on line if you have time to wait for it. This caulk works great so far, tomorrow all paint over it to see how it looks under paint.
Update: worked very well. Don’t apply to much or you will see it after painting.
Thanks for the update
Great video, what kind of caulk are you using? 😊😊😊
Great Video!!!!!!
Thank you!
😮👍 thank you !!🙂
You are welcome!!
Just pressure washed my house and ready to fill cracks, great video! Question should I prime first before filling cracks, or prime after filling cracks? Thank you in advance :)
IMHO, I would pressure wash, fill in the cracks, prime then paint! Blessings!
Love the Colossians verse
Hey Chris. I have been watching your videos. I am going to paint my stucco with an airless. I have quite a few hairline cracks. Do you just paint over those or hit them with Mor-Flexx as described in this video? I can say that these are hairline for sure. Please let me know. Thx, Steve
This is the perfect example of how a how to video should be
OMG!!! did i hear the word (BACKROLL!???)
Btw great techniques!
lol, yes you did!
Good stuff
Thanks for watching Blake!
Which brand of caulking are you using here? In another video you were using White Lightning Megalastic caulking, but I don't believe that one has sand in it (maybe sand would not work with the super stretchy caulk?). Can the old sponge be used for texturing, in lieu of the sand? My wall gets a lot of sun and I'm looking for the best flexible caulking with texture for that. Thank you.
Ive found that with rough stucko textures you can just fill with an acrylic siliconized caulk and just fill only the crack and clean with wet rag, the paint i use is elastomeric, also ive found 90 percent of those cracks will go away if you fill them up with paint before you spray and backroll.
Thanks for sharing James
I have a pretty large house but only one little side wall that ended up with small crack all over. I don’t want to paint the entire house (house has never been painted, only a couple years old) so can I fog coat just this wall over the caulk with the matching stucco color?
Do you caulk the crack before or after pressure washing? I'm gonna paint the stucco siding.
Which brand would you recommend to repair the crack in stucco?
HI, please are you using Sherwin-Williams 950A ? I cannot see
Is the Sherwin-Williams 950A good to use that without a chance of craking ? is that a good sealer against rain , weather etc .. ?
Thank you for your advice
how do you handle slightly bigger cracks? Say around 1/4 inch wide? Thx!
What brand caulk do you recommend for this
thanks for the video
You are welcome!
Man, I have some of these small ones and a contractor told me to redo the whole wall to keep it looking nice. Cost: $8,000.00. Your tip: Maybe $200? Thanks!
Does Chris have a video on discoloration from water runoff?
Not yet, good idea though!
What is the name of the caulking used in the video
In my case My stucco is smooth not rough, What do I do in that case, still use the sponge ?
what is the brand name of the stucco repair material?
Hello. Was wondering if you can answer this. I have a full front face synthetic stucco. Have some cracks up higher.
Would leaning a ladder with thick microfiber cloths on the top of the ladder
be ok, as I no where else I can lean the ladder and work at the same time.
If you have another approach that would be great. Thanks for this video.
Should be Harry
can you tell me what masonry caulking you're using or what brand would be good? thanks
There’s a link in the comments
Great video, when I first clicked on it I was like, Hey wow look at John Cena with a home improvement video....lol... But my question is do you use different caulking for interior stucco?
I use the same
So, you mentioned the “flat spots from
An improper repair”--how do I fix that? A hairline crack has turned into 1.5 inch slick spot that looks terrible--thoughts/suggestions??
I have a video on it
Someone fixed the crack and left discoloration is that normal ?
what’s that caulking thing called and will i fix a chipped stucco that’s been hit by a hammer ?
STucco patch
Damn..when JOHN CENA give you a lesson even in this industry..lol..
What if I already made a bad repair a few years ago? How to fix?
Restucco
It appears that you went right to work on filling the existing crack without any prep. other videos suggest widening the crack to 1/4" with a chisel so that the new "caulk' goes in deeper and grips better. Your thoughts?
That’s where I’m at. I’m going to purchase a crack chasing grinder blade and use that for the cracks. A buddy of mine suggested it. He also mentioned to use a compressor to blow out the dust afterwards and then to use a disposable brush and apply xylene so that the caulk will adhere better. He says that he uses Dymonic 100.
I've been looking at videos and articles and I hate how there are so many different techniques. The one where you widen the crack makes sense but most of these videos don't do that which leaves me confused as to which one I should follow
@@Phaint this guy is a painter, hes looking for curb appeal with minimal labor. He is not a stucco guy repairing cement based products is a totally diff trade and videos like this are really intended to help pro painters
So, what's the name of the caulking and where can I get it?
paintlifesupply.com Tower Sealants
does this stop water from seeping through?
Helps
A little dab will do ya...BARK!
Thought it was john cena for a second 😂
#pleasehelp
i have a similar paint in my house it looks like sand was added to the paint, my problem is after repairing cracks and dings, the repair is flat compared to the sandy looking paint job,it stands out from a mile,what do they add to the paint to get this look,i was told its a 70s method of covering up bad gyprock? even so i imagine once on its impossible to get rip off,so i need to blend the repair's, anybody??
Can I paint after
Yes
😎👍🏼
thanks
How you get them Guns from painting. 3in purity for years and nothing happening 😂💪
Hey chris sorry man i am a little off topic i always check with you when i have a question i just did a cabin and now the home owner is refusing to pay me for the extra work i did the bid was for 1 cote and i did 2 plus i did alot more extra work so now do i need to take a lean out on his place or go another way any info you can give would be great thanks... Patriot Painting
Mr the Customer is not happy, there should be a reason for not paying you, always collect a deposit then a middle point & final payment after the walk through - if there's no contract signed your screwed
78835 no he is very happy its the exstra work he dont want to pay for i can put a lean on his place but i would rather just work it out without doing that this is the first time i have ever had this problem i have been in business for the last 4 year for myself if i could put pics on here i wod send you pics of my work a good painter takes alot of pride in there work witch i always give. 110% when i do a job i dont advertise if that tells you anythis and i am covered up with work
john doe bad mistake always put it in writing and get them to sign it before doing extra work, that way you are protected. No argument once they have signed for the extra work. Every thing I do I make sure the homeowner has signed the documents before proceeding. Never had a problem with payment this way. I learnt that lesson early on in my career after making that same mistake. Never trust People's word as some People will screw you as that is how those people do business
John White yeah i learned mine i have been painting for 15 years and been in business for myself for 4 years lesson is learned 1st time in 4 years that i got beat
john doe yes sometimes it is easy to take the easy route and just do the work but in my 46 years experience every time I took the easy option in my earlier years I got burnt. Much better to take the time and put everything in writing and get them to sign it including having a payment schedule on the form. I have been doing it this way for over 3 decades now and have never had a problem with payments. I also have a clause that states if they are not happy with any work completed to please phone me and I will correct it straight away, something that so far I have only had to do once. Be professional in everything you do from your appearance to writing quotes you will find your Clients will recommend you to a lot more Clients.
Even took a screenshot to show my brothers lol...lmfao
I fill stucco cracks with extra paint spray gun
Interesting, thanks for sharing!
I know John Cena when I see him.
John Cena dogg.i thought you were John Cena.no fuckin' way.
IAM a painter second generation ... And do it that over the stucco the result will be flashing repairs crack .. non-existent proper caulk ..horrible result ...
anibal silva Flashing is usually do to the caulk not being a plasticised sealant. Dap always flash unless you re prime. Top Gun 400 will cut that flashing problems out for ya !
You need to wipe the caulk down really well with a wet rag to prevent flashing. I'm in Northeast Florida and 90% if my business is ext stucco repair/repaints. I like to have a guy go ahead if the sprayer and hit the area's we caulked with a hotdog roller or even a 9/18" roller if it's easier. We backroll all our stucco anyway so there's a roller in the body already anyway.
Pump that caulk into that crack 😂
Ok
This doesn't work if you going to put same stucco color
Really
