To repair a drywall settling crack, cover the crack with joint tape and 3 coats of drywall compound.
Embed the joint tape in about 1/8″ of all purpose joint compound and press it into place with a 6″ compound knife, removing the excess compound to leave about 1/16″ of compound under the tape.
Let the first coat dry and then top with 2 coats of compound with a 10″ or 12″ knife. Sand, prime and paint.
