Professional Caulking tips

Professional Caulking tips
Professional Caulking for Dummies or Caulking 101

This link below is for Stucco Structural extensive cracking, no problemo, easy to fix. https://youtu.be/2eIkdeIBbMs/

If I had given the caulking one more day to dry, it would have shown the caulking sucked up, ops.

Hello, we are sharing some Professional Caulking tips in this video.

Cracking stucco walls are due to” Thermal Expansion.” That’s expansion and constriction, and yes, it’s not only common but normal.

Most realize It’s never good practice to apply the caulk in very cold or hot weather.
We usually caulk in the morning before the sun has a chance to heat the stucco wall,
On the technical side, the size of the joint being sealed will be at either its most comprehensive (when cold contracts the substrates)

If a sealant is applied at either extreme, the size of the joint being sealed will be at either its most comprehensive (when cold contracts the substrates) or at its narrowest (when heat expands the substrates).
Thus, if the sealant is applied at either temperature (and joint-width) extreme, it will undergo the most significant possible stress over time as the temperature travels to the opposite extreme.

By applying caulk to a joint in the middle of the typical temperature range expected for your area, you will minimize the overall stress involved in the caulk due to thermal changes.

Caulking a crack between concrete and a stucco home

December 24, 2013 By Stucco Plastering 8 Comments

Caulking a crack between concrete and a stucco home

Hello folks in this video, I show how to caulk a crack in stucco wall next to a separate concrete retaining wall with textured caulking.
You might ask why not just use stucco as it’s stronger, right?
Stucco will not flex and this project is in the city where the two structures will continue to move aging one another.
Stucco will simply fall out within a year or two under these extreme moving conditions.
The caulking on the other hand will be much more flexable when the two structures move and will last at least 10 years or more. There are stronger caulking than the one I used for this fix however these caulking don’t have the sand in them yet!
