No scrim on adjoining walls

Hi

There's not been any scrim used between junctions between walls and ceiling and now getting cracks at the join. Is there a way to sort this without re-skimming the two walls?

Cheers
 
Caulk

Remove light bulb , close curtains tell us and everyone the name of your cowboy ,
 
PVA internal joints .Scrim joint then plaster over using a trowel and a internal corner trowel . when ready use an ox ultra flex (the best trowel for blending in IMO) to trowel and feather into a seamless finish . Paint it then fill any obvious areas and paint again .

Paper tape and joint cement, use a corner trowel, the Ragni one is good. Wet the tapes first .

Why do you want to take forever to do what caulk will do in seconds?

If you're plastering a solid wall up to an existing ceiling, you just caulk it, don't you?
