filling fine cracks in newly skimmed walls
 

We've had most of the walls and some ceilings skimmed a few months
back and a few very fine cracks have appeared, not too many and they
don't appear to be getting any bigger.

Can anybody recommend a suitable filler for such cracks?

I've been using Tetrion for filling other cracks in cornicing, where I
had first slightly enlarged the cracks, and it seems very good but
wasn't sure if it was appropriate for very fine cracks.

Any suggestions?

There's a fine surface filler that comes in a tub, but Tetrion should be
fine.

I've found ready-mixed coving adhesive makes a wonderful very fine grade
filler. And it's a fraction of the price of the real stuff.
