Product Information

Finishing Inside Corners: Apply compound to both sides of corner. Crease easy paper joint tape and embed. Apply a thin coat on both sides of tape. When dry, apply a second coat to one side only. Let dry, then finish the other side. When dry, sand until smooth. Make sure you don’t remove all of the joint compound from the surface as you smooth it out. Joint tape needs a base layer of joint compound to adhere to the drywall. Just try to get rid of lumps and bumps in the joint compound. After the first coat is dry and before applying the next coat, remove any large lumps or bumps by drawing your taping knife along the With such a specific purpose, you need to have the right circumstances to use this tape – there’s little point using it on a flat joint due to the two strips of thin steel embedded into the trim. This is what helps to create a crisp, clean finish on external corners and ensures a sharp line on all angles. Paper joint tape is a strong kraft tape designed for using with jointing compounds to reinforce and strengthen drywall joints and corners. Retains strength when wet, with tapered edges for invisible seams and strong crease in centre for an effective fold.

Jointing tape comes ready creased, but it isn’t self-adhesive. It’s not as strong as scrim tape, and you’ll need to add extra jointing compound, although experienced tradesmen usually find ways around this. So, in summary, the professionals have their own preferences and workarounds. But if you’re new to this kind of job, it’s generally worth using scrim tape for a flat surface and joint tape for an angle. Fold the tape in half and along its entire length ensuring it is facing the right way up if there is one; some paper joint tapes feature a printed side which is designed to sit against the plasterboard.

Use a jointing knife or scraper to apply some gentle pressure to the jointing tape to release any excess compound or air bubbles. A second layer of jointing compound can then be applied to cover the entire surface of the tape. Depending on the type of compound you have used, you may have to wait until the first layer is dry (from 6 hours to several days) before applying your second coat. Alternatively, it may be recommended that you apply this coat while the first is still wet. Make sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions at all times.a product I'd recommend for any normal drywall installations or repairs. How drywall tape is designed... Remember that, although you can fold scrim tape, and it can sometimes be perfect for internal joints, for angles it’s usually not going to give you the same crisp edge you’d get from a pre-creased jointing tape. So how about jointing tape? Jointing tape is made from paper, which has its own pros and cons. In practice, many professionals still prefer it for most jobs as it’s cheaper and comes in larger quantities so it’s convenient to have on hand for a range of jobs. But it’s a matter of preference.
