Questions & Answers

Will this stick to a painted surface?
ByJan 3, 2025
1 Answer | 
Answer This Question

yes, have used on interior painted drywall and plywood surfaces. Similar to the stickiness of painters tape. pulls off easy to readjust it before mudding without surface damage but stays put enough to mud it without holding in place like paper tape

    Hi tweetybugs, After mudding over the drywall tape and sanding, you would be ready to use primer or a paint that contains primer. Thank you.

            The compound says apply a thin layer of compound over joint prior to applying drywall tape, but the demonstration video says complete opposite. Who?s lying?

            Answer This Question

            Hi Joee - most joint compound manufacturers will give instructions for using the product with paper joint tape. In that application, the compound is applied first. FibaTape Perfect Finish is self-adhesive and is applied directly to the drywall. This eliminates the need for that first coat of compound making your project quicker and easier!

              Nothing: I returned it due to underwhelming adhesion and continuous balling.

                Although FibaTape products can be used with all types of compounds, we do have some recommendations for the best results. When taping regular, tapered edge seams with Perfect Finish tape we recommend heavy weight all-purpose ready mixed compound for those that prefer all-purpose compounds. If the temperature is warm and stable and humidity is low you can also use the heavy weight compound with our other FibaTape products. Taping and setting compounds are also great to use with our FibaTape products. We suggest staying away from light weight compounds when embedding any type of tape. Remember to always refer to the compound manufacturer’s instructions for recommended drying times.

                  I wiped the wall, cut it to fit the crack then applied the spackle. Then sanded the area.

                    It works fine for repairing cracks but if you have foundation issues it will not prevent cracks .

                    Easy to use and not bulky. We used it to patch a ceiling hole and after plaster/paint...you can't even tell where the patch is unlike other materials.

                    This tape is paper thin and works great for small holes. I had a hard time finding the end of the roll so I just sliced across with a knife and peeled off one layer.

                    Good product, but flawed
                    Good product, but it would sometimes detach from drywall. I found the Best way to use this tape is to apply an wait a 1 hour then apply mud. Do not use DAP FASTPATCH 30. it dries way too fast a would pull tape right off the wall
