Norton Abrasives - St. Gobain FDW8652-U FibaFuse 2-1/16 in, x 250 ft, Drywall Joint Tape, White

This is the best thing a DIYer can ever use for joints. I feel sad that only come across it at the last plastering project. Easy to use, and so far hasn't cracked like every other tape I have used. The fibre glass can be irritating and ichy to use, but as I am only using it once in while, it didn't bother me even without gloves.

Works well so far. This is not tacky so filler needs to be applied before and after application. Feels strong and easy to tear

Great item. Covered a reappearing crack in a ceiling with no problem.

I found this stuff difficult to use on a ceiling repair. It kept on sagging away from the surface, thus rendering (excuse the pun), useless. I guess I don't have the skill required as a DIY plasterer to not get it so wet, so my verdict is that this isn't suitable for a DIYer.

I'm never going back to paper. I've been taping for over 40 years and this tape is a game changer. Stronger than paper, but thinner. Because the joint compound squeezes through the tape, you can get the tape super flat to the drywall and no chance of air bubbles. Also, if you happen to hit the tape lightly when sanding, no problem, it doesn't show through the primer, because the tape is saturated with joint compound. This particular tape is the regular tape, suitable for butt joints and compression edge, but don't use this for corners, your knife will tear it. Fibafuse makes a different tape for corners, it has thicker blue plastic cross strands. That is also excellent and now I use that instead of paper on the inside corners. Both tapes are suitable for your bazooka if you're using that. The only downsides are, you can't hold the tape in your mouth, the glass is abrasive. This tape you can tear with your taping knife, or bazooka, but the blue tape for corners you'll need to use scissors or a utility knife.

Works as advertised, goes on very thin and holds well.

im new to diy wall repair and this was EXCELLENT tape to use!

Ignore the negative review, they got the wrong tape. This is ultrathin fiberglass. It's itchy, but you can hide seams flawlessly. It's already thinner than paper, and then you can sand through its edges, and it won't come apart/get stringy/damage your patch. Truly does disappear, save for a sparkle from the glass that's readily covered up by paint. Wear disposable gloves. I crammed my 2 roles into individual gallon ziplock bags to keep the itchy dust off me. Can't recommend this product highly enough, and these narrower roles are perfect for patches. The wider rolls would serve better for seams between panels. Anyway. Buy this and stop being all technical.

Better than all drywall tape for me
