Hairline cracking

[Monkeysuncle]

Afternoon
I’ve just stripped a million layers of paper off some walls, thinking I’d skim em before painting. Turns out the paper was hiding a load of hairline cracks, which can hopefully be seen in photos. There’s way too many to be scraping out and filling, and also too many to be using 50mm scrim everywhere. Is there any other way to prep the walls for skim, without covering with 1m scrim ? If not, can anyone recommend self adhesive 1m scrim roll?

Prime the wall with Febond blue grit. Put a tight coat of bonding on. Embed render mesh on the whole area. Prime again when bonding is dry and then skim. Cracks won't come back.

Why self adhesive? Just pre cut lengths of mesh and push them into the plaster, or hack off and start again.
