Heat Cracked Plaster

John, thanks for the quick reply. I have heard of Vitcas, but how do I get the cracked plaster off without distroying the plasterboard? The cracks are only small and the plaster is not loose it just looks bad!! AMA

Try filling the cracks with decorators flexible filler, and see if they return.
