Project Instructions

QUIKRETE Stucco Repair or QUIKRETE Pre-Mixed Stucco Patch can be used.

Step 1 Widen the crack to a minimum of 1/4 inch using a chisel and hammer (the edges of the crack should be vertical or beveled in an inverted “V”).

Step 2 Break away any deteriorating concrete and remove loose material with a brush.

QUIKRETE Stucco Repair (use for cracks less than ½ inch wide)

• Step 3 Cut the nozzle tip of the QUIKRETE Stucco Repair on an angle with a utility knife to match the width of the crack and load into a standard caulk gun.
• Step 4 Slowly draw the gun down the crack forcing a bead of stucco repair caulk deep into the crack.

QUIKRETE Pre-Mixed Stucco Patch (use for  small, non-structural aesthetic repairs)

• Step 3 Stir the pre-mixed stucco using a margin trowel or putty knife.
• Step 4 Spread and texture the concrete patch to match the surrounding stucco - wet the trowel to achieve a smooth finish. NOTE: for patches or cracks over 1/4 inch thick pre-mixed stucco patch should be applied in multiple layers, allowing each layer to dry before applying the next.
