We have a ceiling with a smooth emulsion finish, unfortunately long cracks appear in the course of every few years - one along the line of a plasterboard joint and two others that are not in line with the plasterboards.
I have repaired them with a d-i-y filler (made up polyfilla or similar) in the past but have decided to do something that will hopefully be a bit more permanent this time.
I have raked the cracks out - the depth appears to be around 10mm and was wondering about applying a gap filling adhesive (No more nails?) in the apex of the crack and finishing it off with either a light weight sandable filler which I imagine will give the finish most likely to blend in once painted or possibly caulk which I understand has the benefit of being slightly flexible but may not blend in as well as the sandable filler.
I would be grateful for any suggestions or comments.
