FibaFuse Norton Abrasives - St. Gobain FDW8652-U 2-1/16 in, x 250 ft, Drywall Joint Tape, White

I'm never going back to paper. I've been taping for over 40 years and this tape is a game changer. Stronger than paper, but thinner. Because the joint compound squeezes through the tape, you can get the tape super flat to the drywall and no chance of air bubbles. Also, if you happen to hit the tape lightly when sanding, no problem, it doesn't show through the primer, because the tape is saturated with joint compound. This particular tape is the regular tape, suitable for butt joints and compression edge, but don't use this for corners, your knife will tear it. Fibafuse makes a different tape for corners, it has thicker blue plastic cross strands. That is also excellent and now I use that instead of paper on the inside corners. Both tapes are suitable for your bazooka if you're using that. The only downsides are, you can't hold the tape in your mouth, the glass is abrasive. This tape you can tear with your taping knife, or bazooka, but the blue tape for corners you'll need to use scissors or a utility knife.

This is the best thing a DIYer can ever use for joints. I feel sad that only come across it at the last plastering project. Easy to use, and so far hasn't cracked like every other tape I have used. The fibre glass can be irritating and ichy to use, but as I am only using it once in while, it didn't bother me even without gloves.

Works as advertised, goes on very thin and holds well.

im new to diy wall repair and this was EXCELLENT tape to use!

I had a home renovation project to do and found this fibafuse easier to use than paper tape. The mud will "seep" through it, making it stick better with less fuss. It was easy to scrape the extra mud out and get a nice smoot seam. Can't use it in corners, but I knew that ahead of time. Also, you may want to wear gloves when using it, since the fiberglass can be irritating to skin.
