New to the forum.
Had the whole house dot and dabbed and then skimmed over. All joints and corners had mesh tape. After a couple of months got round to painting. Used Dulux super flat watered down for mis coat, after a while i have noticed that all the plasterboard joints have hairline cracks in them.
Seems they were always there as many rooms have no paint yet at all and they have hairline cracks across all joints
Have applied jointing compound and smoothed off and all ok but hairline crack re-appears (they are hairline cracks, very fine but keep coming through the paint).
Have now decided to chase back the joints and apply paper tape using neat pva and the will compound over. Is this the right thing to do?
Is there any easy ways of chasing the skim back? Sand paper gets clogged up very quickly, scrapping back with a chisel is very long winded, sanders dont really do the trick. Any ideas or help is really welcome.
