Repairing cracks in new plaster
Anonymous user 09/03/2024 - 3.08 PM
Had all 4 walls and the ceiling of my spare bedroom skimmed. The plaster was left for at least a month before painting, and the first layer was a 50/50 water and paint mist coat before covering with 2 layers of emulsion. About 5 months later, and some fairly large cracks have started appearing in the area that the wall meets the ceiling. There are a number of cracks along the wall, some hairline and some deeper. The walls beneath the area that have cracked were in fairly good condition before they were skimmed. Has anyone got any advice on how to fill the cracks without ripping off and refilling a few large areas?
