Fibreglass Drywall Tape is made with a unique cross-fibreglass construction to provide greater drywall joint strength than conventional fibreglass mesh tapes. Fiberglass Drywall Tape resists shrinking, tearing, stretching and distortion. It also resists joint cracking that can occur when conventional fibreglass mesh tape is used. In reinforcing joints and corners in drywall interiors, setting-type joint compounds (not ready-mixed or powder drying-type joint compounds) are recommended for the first coat over Fibreglass Drywall Tape. For the second coat, setting-type or drying-type (ready-mixed or powder) joint compounds may be used. Fibreglass Drywall Tape is recommended for use with either setting-type or drying-type joint compounds to repair small cracks and holes in drywall and plaster surfaces.Unique construction Conventional fibreglass mesh tapes can stretch slightly when the joint is deflected. When stretching occurs, joints can crack. For this reason, conventional fibreglass tape is recommended only with special high-strength setting-type powder compounds such as Setting-Type Joint Compound. In contrast, the unique leno weave construction of Fibreglass Drywall Tape resists stretching to prevent cracking in drywall joints. Because it achieves greater joint strength than conventional fibreglass tapes, Fewer coats of joint compound Fibreglass Drywall Tape is self-adhesive, eliminating the embedding or taping coat required with conventional paper tape. Simpler, quicker joint finishing .Ideal for patching Use Fibreglass Drywall Tape to easily patch small holes and cracks in drywall and plaster walls and ceilings.
