Q:What mud/joint compound to use with this?
by|Apr 12, 2022
2 Answers
Answer This Question

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

by|Jun 22, 2022

A:  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.

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

      Answer This Question

      A:  This is not duct tape. It is a spackle/plater repair tape.

      A:  Although it may work in this application, we cannot guarantee the results since we only test our products for their intended use as drywall reinforcement.

            A:  For very small holes, yes. I used a small piece of drywall to fill holes and used the tape to hold in place as I applied the mud.

                  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

                  Taping the ribs on wall panel is easy
                  Filling in the ribs on wall panel, mudding texturing & painting was very easy using the mesh tape, the room looks like it was rocked.
