I'm in the process of fixing the cracks but I'm looking for advice on what paint to use when done. I'm after something that has a bit of flexibility to it which might help reduce further cracking. My main requirement, apart from flexibility, is that when applied it dries smooth like normal ceiling paint. I found the below in the UK but can't find it here but sounds like the type of thing I'm after. http://www.polycell.co.uk/product/polyc ... e-ceilings Appreciate any advice.
