I was thinking I could fill the entire crack with this putty. After I had mixed a small portion of it to test how it is to work with the material. I had difficulty pressing the material deep into the crack, what can I do better to press the material deep into it?
I have discovered a crack in a bedroom in my house that is to be renovated.

Behind this wall there is a living room, and it also has a crack at the edge of the wall.

It's a crack/hole through which you can see a bit into the other room.

I thought I could fill the entire crack with this filler. After I had mixed a small portion of it to test how it works with the material, I had difficulty pushing the material deep into the crack. What can I do better to push the material deep in?
Should I use something else to address this?
All tips appreciated
You are on the right track using that product. It is indeed tight to get in between; if you have a small butter knife, it might help a little. Alternatively, you can buy filler in a tube and press the product in.
Watched some videos on YouTube where someone filled a foam-like material in depth first and then applied putty with a similar material. Is that foam-like material for insulation? Or can I try to just push this putty as deep as possible?

You probably mean spray foam, I would have used putty.
You probably mean fogskum, I would have used spackel.

Okay, tried a bit from the bedroom and it was very difficult to push in the material. I think I managed to push in about 1.5-2 cm. It's not easy to work from the bedroom with the water pipes in the way. But is it basically just pushing the material in with a wide putty knife? I thought it might be easier to push the material in from the living room.
Which spackel in a tube would you recommend for that?

A perfectly okay product. You don’t need to mix or anything, just press it in and let it dry. Depending on how big the crack is, of course, more tubes may be needed.
