Hi
My 1970 house has hairline cracks in most of the ceilings, generally central along the plasterboard join. I tried filling one - see first photo but a few months later the crack reappeared. These cracks are less than 1mm wide and in most areas not possible to insert a stanley blade.
Would like to try and disguise with something flexible that will hide the crack and move with the board flexing unlike the filler did, before repainting. Any ideas of a product that could be used for this and be preferably be finished flat.
Just to add, these are the original 50 year old flat plain ceilings and any movement is down to material expansion contraction. Scrimming and plastering would show up more than the crack in the centre of these ceilings, so just looking for a suggestion of a filler/mastic that could be over-painted and have a degree of flexibility. I haven't tried decorators caulk yet, perhaps that would work?
Thanks
