Reskimmed a living and dining room early April and bumped into the customer today.
Asked him if everything is ok and said fine apart from a small diagonal hairline crack that has appeared on the chimney breast this last week.
I am going to nip round after work tomorrow to have a look.
There were quite a few hairline cracks on the chimney breast before i skimmed it so covered them with scrim,pva'd and applied 2 coat skim of multi as normal.
The chimney breast has a back boiler and this was turned back on the day after i had skimmed it.
Do you think this could be a reason as to why it has cracked?
Was going to scrim tape the crack and reskim the chimney breast again tomorrow and advise them to leave the back boiler off a couple of days.
What do you guys think?
