I'll be soon painting the exterior of my house and I've noticed that there are a few cracks in the render. Can anyone advise the best thing to use to fill/repair the cracks before I commence with the actual paint?

Thanks,

Doc

Helifix Crackbond TE but it's pretty expensive. You my need a special gun to apply it too.

This is of course assuming that the cracks are shrinkage cracks, not structural, in which case the render will have to come of to investigate further.

Thanks. It's recently had a full survey and that stated that the cracks weren't due to structural problems.
