New fibatape

[Parko]

Anyone tried the new fibatapes yet? There's a fine finish version 33% thiner than normal and. An extreme climate version for cold or humid temps that is a orange colour , just ordered a box of each from wack, was just wondering if they guna be worth the xtra few bob as getting pissed off with the normal fibatape I'm putting it up and 1/2 hour later it's on the floor , I think it's seconds or fake

33 percent finer, are you sure there is anything in the box.

 

[Ashleyscoob]

But you can't plaster if its freezing anyway, so a day of scrimming, would you bother?

It only says it's for use down to 5 degrees, so still warm enough to plaster.

Tape performs in temperature ranging from 38°F to 92°F
Provides more protection against mold than paper tape
Self-adhesive, requires no pre-bedding coat

Copy and paste at the master of copy and paste lol

It's what it says on the picture of the scrim ,click it and read it, apology not needed

 

[bubbles65]

[johniosaif]

Ok , only testing Andy, he did well,

 

[jamesthefirst]

Nice colour but the main things we want is super sticky and no fraying.If they made it as thick as the external render mesh that would be good too.

I did fecking read it that's how I knew what it said.
Bloody foreigners come over here taking our work without even having a grasp of the English language.

Does my nut in when it frays some of the stuff I've been given to use over the last 12 months I wouldn't use to hold me trousers up if me belt broke ide be mooning for certain

Fibatape was the original self adhesive scrim on the market and was super sticky and stronger when first released. So all the manufacturers have made the gear more and more cheaply and of poor quality and then they have the nerve to say 'look at this new super tacky scrim, it's just a bit dearer'.

One of my pets hates, we always prep for next day. Does my head in when you walk in and the room looks like a spiders nest. Labour only has its perks but would rather be supplying throughout so can use better quality gear.

I think you'll find that's just repacked Fibatape as I'm pretty sure Saint Gobain own Fibatape.

I recommend it to get an insight to the whole system. Its not as practical as id liked. It was worth it for my free weber pen though.

 

[Nisus]
