Carpenter said:Normal enough I'm afraid. Homebond will advise that you redecorate the house in its entirety after year one- after all drying out is complete. for your cracks I would recommend decorators acrylic caulk, used sparingly its very useful for hairline cracks like this.
Carpenter said:My own favourite is to wet your finger and run the caulk in, gives a seamless finish. I don't know how decorators survived before the advent of acrylic caulk.
heinbloed said:Silicon sealant is not the same as acrylic caulk.The latter can be overpainted for example. And decoraters caulk/acryl is not water proof, sealing the bath tub with it wouldn't make much sense.
Make sure you buy the right stuff!

On the continent they do not use the traditional wet plastering system, it is predominantly taping and jointing...I have lived and worked many years in Europe and have never heard of let alone seen anything so nonsensical as ultrasound equipment called in to check for air bubbles...I assume you are codding!!Touch Wood said:This is because we use the english system of building/plastering.
This would never be tolerated on the continent where Engineers with ultrasound equipment are regularly brought in to check the plastering for air bubbles.

but folding in air pockets is absolute nonsense.
