Using Wood Filler, Spackle or Joint Compound
QUESTION
In my newly purchase three-decker, the previous tenant painted the
bead-board woodwork. Cracks appeared between the boards, so I filled
them with Redi-Patch, a wood filler. The material hardened up nicely,
and I repainted. Now the joints are cracking again. What’s wrong? And
how can I fix it?
ANSWER
The same thing happens when you put a hardening material such as
Spackle or joint compound in cracks in ceilings or walls. The plaster
cracks when the ceiling moves, or in your case, the wood expands and
contracts. The hardening materials simply cannot move, therefore cracks.
That is why it does not work. The cure for your bead-board is to scrape out all the hard stuff and put in an adhesive caulk, one that will not only stay in the joint but also will not crack.
