Emulsion cracking in corners advise

[darren7]

Hello,

Some of the corners I have been painting(dulux trade v Matt) have cracks down them ( the paint has cracked, it is not new plaster or a new build), is there anyway to stop this, near the windows, it hase done it in 2 places... Is there a solution thinner paint? thincker? I used to spray cars and we would use plastified paint on bumpers...

the cracks anr hairline and small, but you can see them easy.

Run some caulk down the corner and smooth with your finger. Then repaint.

Dulux Trade Vinyl Matt must (in my opinion) be thinned down by 10% of water as it is to thick, especialy in this weather. Also, even trying to overcoat to quickly over just applied emulsion can cause cracking in corners ("only").
