How do I fix hairline cracks on old covings?

Hello
I'll be very grateful if anybody could shed some light on this, basically I have old covings in my house which has lots of hair line cracks all over and some dents. I have sanded and filled the covings spending hours on it but it still looks pretty bad. Is there a certain type of paint I can use which will 'fill up' these hair line cracks? And give the covings a smooth appearance??
Any advice given will be very appreciated.
Thank you in advance
👍🏼

    try toupret fine surface filler as this is a better solution to paint, especially as you seem to have already spent time filling, it is a shame to put loads of thick paint over the cornice. you could use a water based wood primer which has more body to it than an emulsion and then paint with an emulsion, if you really d9nt want to use a filler.
    good luck!
