Everything else I've tried seems to just crack again.


Thats indicates things are moving very slighly relative to each
other. I'd use decorators caulk between wall and arcitraves/skirting
as the timber will move either from vibration from the door and/or
variations in humidty.


Assuming it is a crack on the skim between two sheets, it's safe to
assume it's moving. And will move again.

Ordinary filler is fine where there is zero movement.


I don't think it is moving - initial shrinkage I think.


Then use any old filler. Only time will tell.
