Product Information

You can use a specialist flexible paint like Polycell’s Crack-Free Ceilings, which is slightly thicker than a lot of paints. If your house is close to a busy road, the rumble of the passing traffic and vibration of the ground can also be the cause of cracks appearing in your home. Add a layer of joint compound over the taped area so that the compound extends past the tape's edges, using the 6-inch knife. Do not be alarmed if you have a few popped nails round the home, in plasterboard ceilings or walls as this can happen with ordinary, minor movement caused by settlement.

If caulk has cracked, the only real solution is to rake the cracked caulk and re-apply in the correct manner.Scoop up a small portion with a 6-inch drywall knife, and smooth a thin layer of joint compound over the crack, making a path that's a little wider than the paper tape.
