Need helps with fixing plaster cracks please!

12 years ago

Can I paint over the plaster weld with a primer? Here are the pictures. I used the plaster-weld on the crack, waited for it to dry, and then used a CGC compound over that -waited for it to dry (24 hours), and then sanded it down and this is what I have. I am new at this, so I am probably doing something wrong. It feels smooth now (a lot of sanding).

What is next? Primer? Should I have not sanded away the CGC compound? Confused, for sure...
