One day we’ll find a scrim to be proud of , there’s that many out there , keep searching, we’ll find it















Or we could all swap to paper tape

Why hasn't someone started to manufacture an actual self adhesive tape, not a scrim, to use on joints?
How hard can it be?

You know what Andy you are right , old fatarm was having a laugh but check it out , fair enough I doubt it can be skimmed but simple solution like you , one that can be skimmed would be great

There is one andy its a paper tape with glue that you just run a wet sponge over or dip in water, it sticks very quickly and ready to skim in 15 minutes. Wet-n-stick ive used before but this is a newer one.

I like this one @Vincey

Which is a good job because I've still got about 50 rolls left. I took a gamble on buying 2 boxes because they came with a free Marshall town ultraflex

We've plastered a few eco houses where that tape has been used. It costs about 50p per metre and IMO the surface wouldn't take skim at all well.

That may be an improvement over scrim, where is it stocked?

Orange is good .wots the blue one for .and I keep forgetting to order the sticky pink one from wack. When I was younger I used to rub spunk on it to make it extra sticky. But now I'm knocking on a bit , it just comes out in thick lumps .️ . Im in Ibiza as said. We just had a bunk up , no kissing. No licking. Straight in .we kept our glasses on , I got dressed and came to the bar. To wait.thats romance after 35years. Lucky bitch.
