Holes can be filled with any filler,however hairline cracks are a different
kettle of fish as if they're foundation movent/human traffic movement over
floors ect no matter how uch you fill them they'll reappear tie and time
again.

Try squeezing a flexible sealant in the cracks and push it in with the
finger and then wipe the excess off the wall/s so the paint will adhere
later.

i think its just where the plasterboard had been bumped and bashed George. I
have been using Polyfiller but its useless, goes hard in the tub too fast
and is expensive. The Dulux shop said Red Devil is good for this type of
thing but its £15 so wondered if anyone here had used it.

You would be better off buying some board finishing plaster, Sam.

This is about £4 for a 25kg bag and will last a good few weeks as long
as it's kept dry and taped down.

It sands easily and you can achieve a much better finish than with fillers.

Hi Sam,
I have had a fond relationship with good old "jointing compound" from Wicks
Pre-mixed in a fair sized tub for a reasonable price and doesn't tend to go off
even if the tub is half empty and kept for a year of more.

Not much good for deep filling unless you build up the layers a bit at a time,
but pretty good for most things, and designed for ... well, for spreading over
the joints of "tapered edge" plasterboard, so can be sanded very thinly if
required.

Cheers
Pete

I have - its one of the new generation 'lightweight' fillers and probably
the best one I have used - better than Wickes or Screwfix own label. Not
specifically for hairline cracks, but excellent stuff.

£15? I don't think so! http://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Products/FXRMF1.html
£4.30 +VAT.

It is really excellent stuff - if properly applied doesn't need
rubbing down (it really doesn't shrink, at least not like normal
powder fillers) but it has a tendency to print through emulsion, so
you might need to blind it first.

The tubs on sale were 5 litres. Actually 4 but 1 litre was free.

When you say Blind it forst what is that and how is it done please.?

I have used this for some time and also find it excellent. I have
noticed the print through that teddysnips refers to and am also
interested to know what "blind it first" means?

Thanks,

I have used this filler today as I am not confident in mixing up plaster and
its superb although I can see it so will wait with interest to see what
blinding is

I would guess they mean, apply a coat of oil based paint before the
emulsion. This prevents things showing through water based paints,
although I can't quite see the connection here.
