Hi All

So this crack has been on my list for a while it’s the edge of the wall to ceiling. I thought it was only small untill I started to clean the loose bits out. Now it’s massive. What would people recommend best To fix it?

Dig out loose plaster.
You will need to seal the plasterboard edges really well, so get some quality PVA and mix 4 parts water to one PVA. Seal then after a couple of hours seal again.
Toupret powder filler mix thick enough so it will hold in place and fill. First fill get it in then 90 mins later when set fill again.
Sand with 120 grade on a block of wood to get the edges square.
Now you have a choice to make. To tape or leave?
If you decide to tape.PVA again and let it dry.
Get some fiber tape.
Apply.
Toupret filler over.
Sand
Paint
