Hi,

Just been looking up at the ceiling in the kitchen and the mist coat is
showing a long straight-ish hairline crack. Probably on the join of two PB
panels.

That's to be expected I suppose - it's been cold and I expect something
has shrunk.

Anyway - I usually use Dulux Rich Matt for ceilings. Is it worth using
something else for this - something with some forgiveness of slight
cracks?

Otherwise my default action will be to paint neat PVA along the crack and
proceed as normal...

Ta

Tim


Anyone? :-O


Well, as there's no football tonight.....
Depends on the crack. If thick paint won't cover it, try fine filler.
Can't see that pva is going to do anything though
