It\u2019s probably being caused by one of these things.&nbsp; Either\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" start=\"1\">\n<li>The paint was put on too soon or<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The paint isn\u2019t flexible enough<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The sealant bead is too small<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The sealant is the wrong technology<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>To be clear, in both of these cases, we\u2019re referring to a situation where the sealant hasn\u2019t cracked\u2026the paint has.&nbsp; If you have cracked sealant, there are different things going on.&nbsp; Let\u2019s break down both scenarios.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-blue-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-c2744b44f2ec5dae2dfcef665a97e49e\" style=\"font-style:normal;font-weight:700\">Scenario #1 &#8211; Painted Too Soon<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Most caulking shrinks as it dries.&nbsp; There is water (or solvent) inside the caulking that leaves the film.&nbsp; When this happens, the film naturally shrinks.&nbsp; Because the bead is larger in the middle and thinner on the sides in a traditional joint, it shrinks the most in the middle to yield a concave appearance.&nbsp; The sealant is designed to do this.&nbsp; It\u2019s been formulated to dry even when there\u2019s a thick bead.&nbsp; Paint isn\u2019t.&nbsp; Paint is designed to dry quickly.&nbsp; If you put paint overtop of a sealant that is still shrinking, it <em>automatically forces the paint to flex<\/em>.&nbsp; A high-quality paint might stand a chance, but a lot of them will fail within a couple days.&nbsp; That\u2019s actually how you can usually tell that this was the problem.&nbsp; If the paint cracks in the first week, it\u2019s probably from painting before the sealant was fully dry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"771\" height=\"1024\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.sashco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image010-771x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7347 lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 771px;

Paint Isn&#8217;t Flexible Enough<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When a sealant is functioning properly, it\u2019s moving.&nbsp; A lot of paints just can\u2019t move with the sealant.&nbsp; This is especially true of the \u201chighly filled\u201d ones like primers and flat sheens.&nbsp; The flatter a paint, the more likely it is to crack when applied over a sealant.&nbsp; If nothing else works, try upping your paint spec to a higher quality or higher gloss paint.&nbsp; It may just solve the issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-blue-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-a3afd5294c6c36d5394f6d9ae92f0d2e\" style=\"font-style:normal;font-weight:700\">Scenario #3 &#8211; The Sealant Bead Is Too Small<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This can be related to \u201cscenario #2.\u201d&nbsp;&nbsp; The smaller the bead of sealant is, the higher the percentage of movement that you\u2019re asking for when it moves.&nbsp; For example, pretend that our siding moves \u00bc\u201d every day.&nbsp; If our bead is \u00bc\u201d, then the bead has to double in length to put up with the movement of going from \u00bc\u201d to \u00bd\u201d and back.&nbsp; It\u2019s moving 100% of it\u2019s original length.&nbsp; Now imagine the same joint except we have 1\/8\u201d bead of sealant.&nbsp; Instead of moving 100% every day, it has to move 200% every day.&nbsp; The sealant is probably going to be ok in both cases\u2026but the paint on top of the sealant is being asked to do the same thing.&nbsp; A bigger bead of sealant will make the sealant more durable\u2026but it will also make the paint less likely to crack.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"384\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.sashco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/LXL-paint-app-image-1024x384.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7357 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sashco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/LXL-paint-app-image-1024x384.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.sashco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/LXL-paint-app-image-300x113.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.sashco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/LXL-paint-app-image-768x288.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.sashco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/LXL-paint-app-image-1536x576.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.sashco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/LXL-paint-app-image-2048x768.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.sashco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/LXL-paint-app-image-400x150.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.sashco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/LXL-paint-app-image-600x225.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.sashco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/LXL-paint-app-image-900x338.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.sashco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/LXL-paint-app-image-170x64.jpg 170w, https:\/\/www.sashco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/LXL-paint-app-image-500x188.jpg 500w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px;
