I'm not sure what to use! Unibond's "No more cracks"? The cracks are
small enough that they'd need a syringe with a fine needle to inject
anything into them. Or shall I just paint over them?

Mr F.

You can hide *very* small cracks - maybe 0.2mm - simply by painting over
them. With anything 0.5mm upwards, I always rake them out with a
screwdriver
or chisel point to make them a bit bigger - then slightly over-fill them
with polyfilla, and sand down level when set.

Whereas the tubes of flexible 'decorators' filler are good for gaps round
skirtings and architraves etc., I have always found them totally useless
for
filling cracks in flat surfaces.

Having done a bit of work in the car bodywork area when trying to repair a
chunk that had been hacked out of a coving i used car body filler. IMo much
easier to use as its very sandable and dries quickly too. You can use it
1mm thick to deep gouges. A friend also did the same and you would never
know 2.5 years on
