Plaster has hairline cracks
I have recently got my walls skimmed. After a day I noticed hairline cracks like you get when a window is cracked. Plasterer says it’s fine and happened due to the hot weather outside. He says it’s fine to paint after whitewashing the walls. Should I stop him from painting as I’m not sure if this is normal to have those cracks. I don’t want the cracks to reappear after painting as it’s a waste of my paint and time. Please help me?
