Default Artex

Hi,
This is really a continuation of the plasterbord ceiling
question.

I am about to redecorate a room and the artex ceiling is suffering
from splitting along the perimeter of the plasterboard panels.

I made a fairly strong mix of PVA and tile cement [it was white and
anything else resembling filler has long since formed "marbles"].

I whacked this on with a roller and it seems to be covering the
cracks. I'm tempted to continue with PVA and finishing plaster. Any
thoughts?

Incidentally the original reccomendation of flexible caulk sounded
brilliant, but with Artex :-(
