have just cladded the lower part of the wall in my bathroom.
applied 2 coats of solvent based undercoat. then
3 coats of cream egg-shell.

after a few weeks the cladding has started to split in different places some on the joints, some in the centre of the panels.

any ideas on the best filler to use.

any other ways to cure the problem

before using any wood it should be allowed to acclimatize to it`s new home unwrapped to allow it to shrink or expand leave it a month to six weeks as i`m sure there will be more cracks etc.
before filling use a flexible wood filler or decorators caulk if painting
