I had a couple of these hairline cracks appear after I skimmed over the
rough artex in the lounge.
They re-appeared after filling.
Is the ceiling flat?
Fairly.
As my ceiling was flat (after skimming), I bit the bullet and papered
with 1000 gauge lining paper. Quite a bit of work but no cracks after 2
1/2 years.
That's why I was wondering about a drop of PVA to bind the edges together
and reduce future movement. The cracks are *extremely* fine - only just
feel them with a fingernail.
The paint will cover them no probs, but if the cracks move again, it may
appear through the paint, which would be a shame...
Then you paint them again :-)
