I am just about to fill some hairline cracks in a plasterboard ceiling. For years I have just been forcing in polyfilla type filler into the cracks with a finger, letting it dry and sanding down.
The cracks reappear after a couple of years.
I did read that a way of permanently doing this was to rake out the crack leaving a vee shaped groove before filling. This makes sense to me as it means that the filler has a larger surface area to adhere to.
Any idea of a good tool to leave a vee shaped groove in plasterboard?
Or alternatively any other way of doing it?
