Kolter Homeowner Guide

Filling small cracks You have the option of repairing and repainting small, hairline cracks in your stucco (those 1/16-inch wide or less). Do so when the temperature is between 40 degrees and 100 degrees. Remember that the cooler the temperature and the higher the humidity, the longer it will take to dry.

2. Use an elastomeric latex sealant to fill the crack. Ensure the sealant fills the entire crack and be aware the sealant will experience slight shrinkage.

Follow these instructions for filling small cracks:

1. Use a wire brush to remove loose debris, dirt, or particles from the crack.

3. Create on the sealant a texture that matches the surrounding area. Use a finishing tool to do it.
