From the video
Answers: When and how should you use mesh tape for drywall?
- drywall mesh tape application
- Durabond 90 setting mud
- taping flat drywall joints
- taping wedged drywall joints
What it concludes
- Mesh tape is great for quick jobs where most joints are behind cabinets and you want to get in and out faster.
- Mesh tape should never be used with regular mud and is designed to be used with setting-type mud.
- Durabond 90 is not possible to sand, so high spots or blobs will not scrape down easily.
- An easy sand mud is a better choice because it will scrape and sand.
- Mesh tape should tear easily, unlike tape intended for showers that requires a knife.
- Prefilling drywall joints before mesh taping saves a step later by allowing you to start coating right away.
