Hi,
I've just read an account of how a movement crack was repaired. A few things puzzled me.
He cut a V into the crack - I take it that this is with the wide side outwards?
After cleaning, he applied a sealer to ten inches either side of the crack - what type of sealer?
He then applied fibreglass repair tape and filled it with 'Gyproc easyfill' - where was the tape put? Into the full depth of the crack covering both sides and the rear?
The whole thing was interesting. He sealed the final repair with Zinsser Bin to prevent the water in paste or paint affecting the easyfill. Seems a good idea.
