Pro tip: Stop using latex caulk on ABQ stucco cracks
I used to just grab whatever DAP tube was cheapest at Lowe's and fill cracks in my stucco every spring. After last year's monsoon season I had huge peeling strips where it pulled away from the wall. Switched to a polyurethane based caulk from Sherwin Williams on Candelaria and it cost $18 a tube but it actually flexes with the temp changes. Been 8 months now and zero cracks coming back. Anyone else find a better fix for that stucco expansion issue we get here?

Right? That's the exact same thing that happened to me. The cheap stuff just couldn't hack it with the way our walls expand and contract.
