It is not clear between what elements the cracks are appearing- please
elucidate.

Sorry when i re-read my post i realised i wasn't so clear.

The cracks appear between each joint of wood. Originally I was going to
screw straps of aluminium on the underside of each piece across the joints.I
was advised it wouldn't be required. It's too late now as they are in place.

It's really depressing as the rest of the room is "perfect".

Any help appreciated.


Try cutting a rebate on one side of the crack with a wood chisel, line
the bottom with thick polythene or thin foam as a 'bond breaker', then
fill with sealant, smooth it then overpaint.

Some sealants shrink a bit on curing but the stuff you used for
bonding the MDF shouldn't.

cheers,
Pete.
