Hi All,
this may sound like a silly question to some, but as Im unsure thought Id ask anyway.
Although Im not sure if it goes the whole way around our living room, it appears the plaster in our living room has hairline cracks through it. Now there are no signs of any chucks or anything missing, so I was wondering if there was a way I can still paint and get a nice finish without the big cost of a whole re-plaster (or even skimming i think would be out of our price range at this stage), now I know the results may not be long term, but something to at least last us 6 months or so would be fine. Now I've tried to do some research on the internet and it sounds like thicker undercoats do the trick, and I appreciate plenty of sanding may be involved between layers, but wondered if anyone has any experience or thoughts on this?
This is a section of the wall in question so you can get the idea...
Any input would be appreciated
Thanks in advance!
