Lightly scrape along the crack with a putty knife remove loose paint or drywall from inside the crack. Use mesh drywall tape to tape over the crack. Its sticky on one side. Try to use long pieces of tape, if possible taping the entire crack with one piece. It is also important to keep each piece of tape centered on the crack. Use a putty knife to spread the compound. Spread drywall joint compound over the tape so that it appears flat. Use more joint compound than you need rather than less. You will sand off excess later. Make sure to cover the tape completely. After the compound has completely dried sand down any ridges that resulted from the putty knife. This step will be messy! Everything in the room will get some dust on it, so either use dropcloths or be ready to clean when you're done. Also, be careful not to get dust in your eyes, or inhale dust. You may wish to wear goggles and a dust mask. Donāt sand into the tape. You still want the compound to cover the tape and its contours completely. Prime and paint.
You got this!
