Hairline crack on stop bead.

[Joz]

Hi all, I need some advice please.
I recently skim a stud wall, and a hairline crack has appeared on the very edge of a stopbead I clout nailed on ( stud wall had a slight angled to it.) It starts about 60cm up from floor and runs about a meter high. The customer says it's my fault in a way so I return and applied some easyfill into the airline crack. He left it for a week but it's re appeared.

Could this be movement or shrinkage.
I'm trying to explain to the customer.

did youscrim the angle before you beaded?

 

[raggles]

And did you fit the bead so it covered the joint between the two boards.

 

[johniosaif]

And did you have two sugars in your tea , a photo would definitely help us to answer the query

 

[Joz]

Raggles yes I covered the joint with the bead.

Always Always scrim a stop bead 100% your fault I'm afraid!

They will always crack of not eventually imo!

I have set with 2 pack filler as dries rock hard and in under 15mins so no hold ups.. See Here...... Seems the stop beads get caught at the bottom and off they pop. Bit of 2 pack especially at the bottom seems to work great to hold them firm. Grip fill is good to but takes to long to dry I find...

2 pack is good but biggy was the man

OK assuming such an issue is the result of not scrimming properly, what is the best way to rescue the situation? Is running silicon along the crack best followed by over painting? Cheers

 

[tcd]

Decorators caulk, paint doesn't adhere to silicon, that should sort your problem paul

 

[essexandy]

If scrim has been put around the angle under the bead then that's as much as you should have to do.
You don't have to be putting scrim over the bead.
If something is built necessitating the use of a one sided bead then it's always likely to crack as the timber shrinks under the board.

Ditto. Keep a big 5 litre tub of bodyfiller in the van, use it for all sorts. Sticks like S2B, sets in no time, easy to sand, come away from the job high as a kite

I don't tend to scrim beads unless I can see there is a potential problem (though I'm now starting to wonder if I should) and can't recall such problems. Sounds like an underlying problem with the wall.

Are we talking about hairline or can you get an echo when you shout into it?

you can fill it with easi fill and see how it goes but it will always be a weak point if the crack keeps coming then use decorators caulk and that should sort that out

 

[Tinytom]

I once had some super flexible caulk that had fibres in it. Got it from a johnstones decorator centre it was the dogs b*ll***s

i think a good adhesive bead fix tape could be the answer.

Always a chance it will crack, same asjoins on plasterboard. It's life, although it's written at the bottom of my quote that it's a possibility to cover my arse

This tape would be much quicker at holding the windows than screws! It's going to revolutionise all trades. Cement for bricks? Just use double sided holy tape! Building a stud wall? secure it with this s**t.

So a regular thought up this tape idea . But used another account to test water lol.

That should narrow it right down.

It's the sort of shitty idea that @Danny would come up with while sniffing used nappies.
