Straight to the point, and no windy introduction. Professional video with precise and professional advice.<br>Just what I needed to repair several cracks myself after seeing the botched jobs I've had to put up with.<br>Thanks a lot, Esprita Painting!

LOVE Gardz primer. Used cases of it in painting, papering prep, and faux finish prep. We reapply when still wet until the surface stops taking it. Great under wallpaper. Paste doesn't disappear, and paper removal requires less washing.

As a senior I've heard many different ways on repairing cracks but this sounds logical and easily doable. I'm still filling cracks but will be doing it you way next. Thanks😊
