Cracked Plinth

    Hi all,

    The plinth at the front of the house has become weathered looking and needs touching up. Also it is cracked in a few places, so I was wondering if there's anyway of concealing the cracks while doing the re-painting? Is there a product available that one could paint/roll on to hide/mask the cracks. These cracks arent huge, but I'd like to hide them if possible. The plinth is about 2-3 feet in height.

    Thanks

    W.

    Are these hairline cracks or more than hairline? If they are hairline, a couple of coats of paint will do, if they are bigger then you will have to make these cracks bigger and fill with exterior polyfiller....

    I suppose its no harm to fill the hairline cracks with the exterior filler also then paint away....

    Here's some pictures of the cracks, one being slightly worst than the other.

    I might have been mistaken but I recall recently an ad on TV advertising a product to help conceal/mask these types of cracks etc., I think it might have been a polybond product but I'm open to correction?
