Did you take a door and frame out and boarded over the entrance and skimmed it

Micky you always putting this sort of stuff up it, it's going wrong cos you don't know what your doing

Could be your timber mate, if it's treated and wet, will shrink as it dries out then cracks appear.

I usually tape up and fill with drywall adhesive it doesn't really shrink

On any existing joint?

 

[Marshy]

If the structure 'moves " then no matter what plastering method you employ you are f**k*d end of

Paper tape is less likely to crack

No it's one of my pet hates when I see boarding filled to f**k complete amateurs I only do it where a board meets a solid wall on a full wall like what's been said, usually a doorway blocked up.

Solid wall with stud fill? Difference in heat expansion caused cracks. Block up is best to fill in but costs more. If it's a stud wall and stud infill then you need timber on all board edges and screw so no movement

Obviously, the house is falling down, your studwork is fine.......
