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.
