Ah that's a good tip! I've also bought some special ceiling paint which flexes well, so I'm double covered now, I hope.

@10000Monkeys Good thinking batman! Just remember though, if your ceiling has more settling to go, the flexible caulking & paint might not hold. If it doesn't, wait a month or so & put more caulking on & apply some touch up paint (if needed). Thanks for commenting. Joe :0

@bonaytothebonay Right, the caulking will flex & help with any additional movement you have, to your ceiling. If your cracks move too much though, your caulking will start separating as well. Watch for this, & if your ceiling is still settling, you can add more caulking or use an elastomeric caulking, which will stretch farther than standard caulking. Thanks for commenting. Joe :0

@thedelih Thanks for letting me know you enjoy the show! That means alot!! Joe :0

The good thing about doing this is that the caulk tends to remains flexible helping with any movement.
