Four related questions:
1) At what point do you decide it's not worth filling and patching and it's better to skim the whole wall?
2) I've seen an "easifill" product recommended in other replies for patching because it's easy to sand. I bought some to try it out but see that it's labelled for plasterboard joints. Will it adhere over painted surfaces?
3) What do you do to assure a skim coat of plaster adheres? I had a kitchen skimmed after I removed tiles from several walls and the skim is already separating where it was applied over existing painted wall surface.
4) I'm working in a nine storey 1930s block of flats with reinforced concrete construction and all the interior breeze block walls have full length cracks that seem to move very very slightly over time. Is there any solution other than hiding under lining paper?
