Scrolled Ceiling Repair
 

I have a scrolled cathedral ceiling that has developed cracks. It had
been repaired in the past by a painter. I believe all he did was fill
these cracks with paint. I intend to repair myself and would like
advise on best proceedure. Is using a small bead of silicone and
blending in with the scroll the best proceedure?

Best? Don't know. Possible, yes...if you use *paintable* silicone
caulk.

How about using spackle to fill the cracks. If they are tiny cracks,
just use your finger to fill them. If larger, I would use painter's
acrylic latex caulk.

What's a 'scrolled ceiling'? Fancy plaster? Just curious...
