Dulux trade again, Ive even tried to pva the corners Ok, did u thin the second coat? Perhaps if you stop thinning the stuff and put it on neat, you might get a better result. Growler , 3 Oct Another way it can happen is if a kettle is being used in a corner and the steam from the kettle penetrates the brush marks and causing it to split. It can happen by radiators in terms of the heat coming from them.
It can happen by the plaster being over polished also! Sometimes It may be plaster has been overtrowel'd and fatty bits have collected in corner. Seems you got a Mud cracking effect and any waterbased paint will just keep cracking.. Try a thinned coat of solvent based undercoat over the crack. This will stabilise the surface ready for emulsion Good Luck Send a pic of the corner if u can? Though "confidentincompetent" may have give u a fix "dingo"! Joined: 3 Sep Country:. A good quality elastomeric caulk for continued expansion and contraction over the years is important for a long lasting repair.
When I typically paint a room I always caulk the inside corners as I do with moldings. However, you need to make sure that the caulking you use is both paintable and not prone to shrinking. Most latex caulking contains water which makes it very easy to use and keeps the latex from solidifying.
Once the caulking is exposed to the environment the water in the caulking slowly evaporates. This leads to less volume and ultimately shrinkage.
Therefore, if the wrong caulking is used you might see a nicely finished corner turn into a real mess. My advice would be to use a good either exterior grade caulk that is not prone to shrinking or a non-shrinking sand free grout. Your email is never published nor shared.

According to painting experts, these two symptoms can occur for a few main reasons:. Identifying cracking paint in the early stages is simple if you know what to look for, such as the image below. These are early-stage hairline cracks — a sign of problems to come. But in the later stages, as you can see towards the bottom of the image above, the paint begins to separate and crack apart, making the problem more serious and harder to fix.
The sooner you notice the signs of paint cracking or flaking and bring in a professional , the quicker and easier it will be to fix it. Your business needs an up-to-date paint job to maintain a clean, professional image, especially if you rely on foot traffic for customers.
But besides being a visually unappealing, cracking, flaking paint can sometimes be dangerous or an indicator of something more serious happening inside your walls.
