Your product experience is not what we would expect from the Roberts Drywall Joint Tape. Thank you for letting us know. Here are some key product storage/ handling & usage points regarding the Tape that may improve performance and satisfaction. This tape should be stored & used in a dry, controlled environment between 50-95 degrees F. Wipe the area where the tape will be applied, allow to dry, ensure the tape is positioned over the well "butted" seams of the board, firmly press the tape. Do not stretch the tape. Do not use the tape as "filler" for excessive gapping between boards or corners. Unroll a few inches of tape and make sure the center of the tape is over the seam. Firmly press the first few inches and then unroll a foot or two at a time, letting the tape gently lay over the seams. Press the tape over the seams for secure bond. Repeat procedure covering all seams.- Customer Care.
