  • Is this stuff any good?

    We've got a section of internal wall that's next to a big window that opens fully for an extra access route to our back garden.

    The plaster on that one section has some fairly long, thin cracks. Some sections around the cracks sound blown but mostly the wall seems OK.

    It's been like that since we moved in and the paint is peeling on small (hand sized) areas around the cracks.

    I'm decorating that room this week and have filled the cracks / sanded but obvs there's sections of bare plaster after my sanding as well as from the already peeling paint which I've scraped off. I don't really want to put a mist coat over the whole thing so wanted a shortcut.

    Scrape anything loose back, slap that stuff on, paint over as normal?

  • I've never used it. Never had a product of theirs not work though. My concern would be the surface being uneven unless you fill it. Hard to tell exactly what you're dealing with without seeing it in person though.

    Short of sorting out the problem which isn't always possible I like lining paper for 'problem' walls.
