Polycell Flexible Ceiling Paint?
« on: March 03, 2017, 12:11:44 pm »
We have some persistent hairline cracks (differential thermal movement) on a wall (plasterboard dab onto breezeblock at the join of plasterboards) and around a window frame, where plaster buts up against the UPVC frame. The cracks are too small to use decorators caulk, so I was wondering about trying this Polycell ceiling paint .....Anyone used it before with any success? Any other suggestions, please?  :thinking:

Cheers

Sorry this seems to be coming up on the Motorsport Board for some reason...

Picture would be ideal but I had a similar problem near the exterior windows.

Filled the crack with flexible white caulk so it could expand/contract.

Painted over it a day later with standard white gloss and it's been nearly a year with no sign of the paint flaking or cracking. Looks like the flexible caulk is doing a good job.
