we have been filling in where the electrics have been channeled out in the plaster work and other holds in the plaster work. Having applied hardwall to these areas some of them have developed hairline cracks and small like cracks between the new undercoat plaster and the old plasterwork. Will it be ok or will it need to be re-applied? and what could i do to stop it happening again. We pva's the brick work. Next month the plasterer will be coming in to re skim all the walls. help!!!!

It coll, called map cracking, it's just the plaster has dried out quickly, plasterer wil moan and grunt but if he's any good will not be an issue, two coat skim will sort it.
