Hairline plaster cracks

We had a room skimmed just before Christmas and it’s all dried and beautiful but there’s some fine cracks.

I’ve seen people fill larger cracks but that seems overkill for these fine ones. But if I just mist coat then paint, I think these would show up.

What do people recommend for fine cracks?(Made it through the whole post without sniggering at fine cracks.)

You can use Toupret filler as the go to for fine cracks, you just scrape it on, let it dry, sand it and paint.

We used it all over when we did our reno, we removed several layers of wood chip and just Toupreted any cracks, you can't even tell now that its painted.

Thanks @housethatbuiltme I’ll give that a go!
