Hi Guys, Very Happy MERRY CHRISTMAS Very Happy

I moved into my house 3 years ago & decorated. While doing one room, which is part of a newish extension, I noticed what can only be described as vertical Tiger Stripe cracks, in small patches around the walls. Confused

I used filler on them, sanded & painted & blow me down, if they didn'e re-appear...all in the same places. Confused Shocked Confused

A friend has suggested that this is unibond ??!? Surely not? I thought that was a good builders friendly material? Confused

Anyway....it's decorating time again ( Twisted Evil )& I've just filled these again, but before I paint....Any Suggestions as t what this may be & if so, how to combat it?

Your help & advice, always greatly appretiated

The cracks could be doggy plaster, the first coat being too dry or frost damage when first applied.

When you fill its important to scrap out the crack so the filler gets right in.

The triangular tool is idea for the job.
