Cracks are a plenty

Cracks are a plenty
What to do to fix them before the rains come
I built a dome last year
And it’s a beauty
But it’s cracking and leaking water in when it rains
I’m not sure what to do and it worries me
I would love to talk somebody and let you see the video of it ...I would love some reassurance reassurance and advice . I get a little overwhelmed thinking it’s my fault I messed up ..
But I hear this is common
I guess I just want to show somebody who has seen this type of cracking before and get some advice on what to do

@Obo-Martin Does your dome have the surface-bonded fiber reinforced cement stucco with silicone coating?
-
@Obo-Martin Where are you at in the process? What finish have you used?
-
I’m gonna leave my number if anybody wants to give me a call we got rain coming in the next couple weeks and I’d love to get out this before winter starts 5309657208 .

@Zander we used it all there are several coatings on there already it’s been finished for a year it’s hard to temper the names of the products but it’s definitely cracking and leaking a lot of water

@Obo-Martin Zander has far more experience than I do. Don't take my word for this. Check with him first. If you have already applied several layers of reinforcement and weather proofing, perhaps you should identify the spots that are leaking, remove the reinforcement in that spot to apply aircrete mortar. Then reapply the reinforcement and silicone coating. It might also be possible your aircrete had too much foam. I don't know what could be done about that. What do you think Zander?

@Obo-Martin It's quite challenging to give useful advice without photos or any detailed information about your construction methods and materials. Please take photos of your cracked surfaces. Please take photos of any packages, receipts, or bottles related to materials used.

I was thinking of using a product called quick Crete it’s a liquid concrete crack filler in a bottle and then gacco roof 100% silicon recommended by Steve Arreen he said hadjar was using it
