 Howdy folks in this video I am explaining how a bit of sand in caulking matches either a tex coat or a stucco finish as mor-flexx has sand and is easy to clean up.

      I pay roughly 25 dollars a 12 pack, that's a screaming deal to protect one's hands.

      Howdy Michael, easy peasy lemon squeezy, when dry to the touch or by simply looking at it you should see the color change that suggests it's dry.

      Big stretch is good but does not have sand, soon all caulking will get on board and will add sand to their callings.

    Hi, I have a century building I'll be stuccoing thanks to you! Can I use this product to fill gaps in the brickwork where to mortar has come loose before stuccoing? I was going to fill with mortar and save th brick but the one side is so far gone and I had a profession break a few bricks when he tried reprinting it. Double brick and he snapped four bricks never returned 🙁

    Kirk I used your advice from another vid about fixing/patching holes in stucco finished walls. I filled the main hole with hot stucco patch and then finished with wall mud. So much faster than filling with hot mud alone. The great part was no shrinkage. Great tip Kirk. Thank you. Bob the Full-Service Handyman, Santa Barbara CA.

    My stucco home I moved into has those super smooth caulk crack repairs you talk about where it sticks out like a sore thumb compared to the mid-texture finish. Do you have any videos on how to fix a bad repair on textured walls? I think I only saw some with smooth finishes.
