What is the easiest way to seal with a hairline crack in the overskim

Do I need to rake it out or can I apply something that will penetrate and
fill it (Creeping Crack Cure?)


I paint over with PVA a couple of times to bond the crack, then, if it's
beyond what paint will fill, a smear of fine filler.





I've found mixing 'polyfilla' (the powder stuff) with a mix of water and
some PVA, I guess the mix, works well- provided it isn't too wet when
applied. It is hard to sand down, so don't leave too proud.


Indeed as some fillers shrink when setting/drying, leaving it
proud to sand a little is a sensible move.
