Use a clear primer/sealer for uncoated stucco, concrete, tile, brick, or chalky surfaces.

For elastomeric sealant on cement-like materials, wood, metal, and most other surfaces, Elastek Crack & Joint Sealant is a very strong, high elongation sealant with excellent adhesion. It is ideal for caulking, patch and repair and for small hairline cracks too small for Duratex Stucco.

All cracks should be cleaned of any loose material. A chisel or a grinder is ideal to open up narrow, deep cracks to make them easier to fill. Fill voids with Duratex Stucco and blend.

When dry, use a brush to dab and blend more Duratex Stucco to hide the repair. A green sponge float also may be used to blend Duratex Stucco into surrounding stucco.

When dry, paint to match with latex paint. See Product Information Sheet for more details.

TIPS: Practice applying texturing on scrap materials such as cardboard. Nearly any texture is possible with a little practice. Working in the shade allows for longer working time. Keep tools wet and clean. When finished, clean tools promptly in water.

Approximate coverage is 18-to-25 sq. ft. per gallon. Allow two to three hours to film, overnight to harden. Temperatures and humidity affect drying time.
