In this video, we use Mor-Flexx caulking to fill these hairlines and structural cracks in these stucco Walls.
Folks Mor-Flexx caulking has stucco sand in every tube, matching stucco textures better than caulking without sand.
I have seen some folks buy the tile grout caulking as it also has sand to try and blend in caulking to their stucco walls. However, that sand is silica, too delicate to notice any difference when trying to match most stucco textures or finishes.
Mor-Flexx is the best as it first appeared at the professional plastering yards, where we professionals shop, as we are held to a higher standard for longevity and quality.
Should you caulk cracks on stucco walls? Absolutely, and as soon as you notice them.
Should you caulk the cracks on the inner corners of your chimney where it meets the wall?
Yes. It’s one of the most critical areas to keep the rain out.
Why? That is an excellent question. Glad you asked.
The rain will now flood these cracks. In colder climates, this causes spalling; spalling means the rain freezes, expands, and cracks the stucco much faster.
Allowing water to calculate and do its damage.
It’s like putting a beer in the freezer, except at a more expensive loss.
Even without freezing temperatures, the same situation occurs with time.
The wood then rots, the bugs come for an easy meal, and the rest is elementary in wood rot and termite damage.
Should you be alarmed by cracks? No. Concerned? Naturally, the longer you do nothing, the more degraded the membrane and wood could get from the rainwater.
As a rule, the rainwater will absorb into these cracks soaking the substrate or wood frame and expanding the wood.
This creates more significant gaps each season, catching more rainwater.
This rainwater starts the decay process. The wood rots attract termites; they are always looking for a free meal, then possibly after ten years, you have a fortune’s worth of wood rotted damage that you have to remove the stucco to repair and then reinstall the stucco. Don’t let that happen.
You didn’t realize that cracking in stucco walls in critical areas such as chimneys can cause serious damage. So spend 7 to 10 bucks on a tube of quality caulking to keep inevitable cracks filled.

The Sika-Flek 1A caulkings I’ve used in past videos for lathing are the best, as they are construction adhesive sealants.
However, it is unsuitable for crack repairs on any textured stucco wall.
Tip: Wear gloves as “expanding foam and Sika-flex polyurethane caulking” are a nightmare to get off your skin.

Origins of the Idea 🌱
The original idea for this site stemmed from the need to benchmark the popularity of a video against the general population of YouTube videos. 🧠
Challenges Faced 🤔
Obtaining a large sample of videos was crucial for accurate ranking, but YouTube lacks a direct method to gather random video IDs.
Even searching for random strings on YouTube doesn't yield truly random results, complicating the process further. 🔍
Creating Truly Random Links 🛠️
The YouTube API offers additional functions enabling the discovery of more random videos. Through inventive techniques and a touch of space-time manipulation, we've achieved a process yielding nearly 100% random links to YouTube videos.
