Cure for Chronic Cracks
Some cracks keep coming back no matter how well you repair them. For those pesky recurring cracks, we prescribe Good-Bye Cracks. It forms an elastic film that stretches and contracts along with the crack. It works best on hairline cracks, but it’s worth a try on wider cracks too. Start by cleaning loose material out of the crack and fill it with joint compound. Then spray on two to three light coats of Good-Bye Cracks. The film isn’t sandable, so a smooth, even coat is critical (practice on a scrap of cardboard first). When the film dries, prime and paint. You’ll find Good-Bye Cracks at some paint stores and home centers. Or search online for “Good-Bye Cracks.”
