BillBrown did say that the cracks were very small. Not visible unless youare looking very close. I'd like to know if he used tapes over hisribs. I can't imagine that he didn't, but, I'm hoping that withreinforcing tape, rib lacing and 2" wide tapes fully wetted out willminimize flexing in this area. As far as flex agent goes, exteriorlatex is designed to be flexible to meet the demands of heat, humidityand shrinkage of wood on outside surfaces of homes.We will see.Stevee.________________________________________________________________________________
