FAQs

Do I need to wet the tape before applying?

No – the self-adhesive backing sticks directly to clean plasterboard. Just peel and stick.

What jointing compound works best with this?

Any standard plasterboard compound works. The mesh accepts both setting and ready-mixed types.

Can I use this for external corners?

It works for internal corners when folded. For external corners, use proper corner beads for better impact resistance.

How much compound do I need over the tape?

Apply a thin base coat, then skim coat. The mesh shows through until you get full coverage.

Will this work on painted surfaces?

Best on clean, unpainted plasterboard. On painted surfaces, test a small area first – adhesion may be reduced.

Can I cut it with normal scissors?

Yes, household scissors cut through the mesh easily. A kitchen knife also works for quick cuts.
