Hi wondering if anyone could back up my thoughts on paper tape which are that as a builder I ask my plasterers to use paper tape prior to skimming on any areas vulnerable to cracking ie. large ceilings, solid wall to stud wall joints as I have the come back to put crack right and I have rarely seen a crack come through paper tape but I constantly get told by plasterers that it is a waste of time but British gypsum recommend paper tape for a stronger joint so would be interested to hear other plasterers views for and againnst.
