Decorative caulk cracked...

[AidanGee93]

Hello all, have very little pink paint left and after paneling and caulking I noticed the caulk cracked?

Didn't want to take chance with putting the left over pink I have (not a lot at all) to hopefully seal the cracks. So bought a no crack decorative caulk and put a small bead over existing, said can paint within 5 mins but will leave it 24 hours before painting...have I done right thing? Any tips welcome...cheers

I too have had this over the years, I can only think that the paint isn’t as flexible as the caulk, but I don’t remember it doing this many years ago so something must have changed either in the caulk or the paint makeup.

 

I don’t have an answer for you though, I have just repeatedly applied paint until it covers it up, but it does take some goes to get rid of it completely.

 

any decorators on hand to help?
