K Ky12 Member Mar 19, 2014 #1 Hi guys, When joining a butted join board to board, do I use fibreglass scrim tape, then 2 coats of joint compound? I read this was bad practice and paper tape should be used. I will be skimming after

K Ky12 Member Mar 19, 2014 #3 So is joint compound only used for tapered joins? What about for ceilings?
Dr.B Active Member Mar 19, 2014 #4 What are you doing? Drylining or plastering? If you are plastering just scrim tape and skimm.
K Ky12 Member Mar 19, 2014 #5 Plastering matey, or at least attempting lol! Apologies for this question, but is dry lining where you never plaster it, just paint over the tapes and seals?
