Paper tape&jf much better job, in fact gypsum won't stand over anything else.

I paper tape all my boarding only scrim if time contraints or someone else's dodgy boarding. i use easy fill 45 as I can skim same day, other fillers or taping compounds use powder only but may have to skim next day. I also use tapered boards 8x3 12.5mm for ceilings.

You mean Irish Gypsum won't stand over anything else?
Maybe that's because they don't manufacture it though eh??

Funny how British gypsum stand over scrim tape, ah but they make their own [emoji6]

Don't disagree though, paper tape is a good job.

Was only asking for advice mate.
Mabye the recomendations of others seem to differ?
Is it ok to go over paper tape with just multi? Or do u need to go over with easifill first?

Just multi.
It's a good job but there is nothing at all wrong with scrim.
I won't use paper tape, ever.
As Bobby said; f**k that.

No need to soak them in water!
Just butter your joint put the tape on and give them all a light coating after you've finished your last tape.
You needed to soak the brown tapes for Artex years ago, I've had no paper tape failures in 25 years.

The tape I've seen recently here is still the brown stuff, and it's unethical ( or a t**t) to use on internals where you aren't skimming the adjacent wall for a few days.
