I used your exact same method some 10 plus years ago in 100 year old house with cracks in plaster. The plaster was sound, just cracks from age. Worked great and the walls are still holding up.

Thanks this vid is spot on for someone who has never done it!

[@DoubleOProductions]

Very nice.... will that filler be a specific type? or general multi-purpose filler? thanks

Best to use joint compound filler.

First time I've ever seen someone tape and fill paper on a table lol

[@Gollammeister]

Filler? What if the crack is running along the joint between 2 plaster boards do I use joint compound first before using a filler ?

[@FintanMcKahey]

I think people refer to joint compound and filler as the same thing …

I've seen some comments about applying filler then scrim tape. What are your thoughts?

[@Decorating-yearsinminutes]

Hi.
If the tape is NOT sticky, the fine, but, apply filler, put the tape where required (now you might not see the crack because of the filler) PUSH the tape onto the wall with a stroke motion from your small blade, then reapply the filler.
Best to buy good tape in the 1st place, then you won't have this problem.
Good luck

Good vid, thanks. Where did you get the knifes from please? Think it says 'spekter s' or similar but have searched and can't find anything remotely the same by that name. Ta.

[@Decorating-yearsinminutes]

I've had them years. If I can find a link, I'll send it. Admittedly these are the brst knives I've ever seen. It's worth spending a bit more on the., then looking after them.

[@jindosuni]

@@Decorating-yearsinminutesany idea on the knives? I’ve also tried searching and can’t find them.

[@mehowq]
