Returning Goods Thin drywall tape: Stronger than mesh drywall tape, thin tapes have self-adhesive and are a good option for larger jobs as it’s harder to tear and doesn’t leave the texture that mesh tapes tend to. It’s especially useful on butt joints and as it leaves a smooth junction. The main difference between adhesive and non-adhesive drywall tape is how the tape is applied. Non-adhesive tape, such as paper tape, must be embedded in a layer of wet joint compound applied to seams between panels before the tape goes on. Self-adhesive drywall tape, on the other hand, is positioned over the seam before the application of joint compound. Mesh tape is another type of drywall tape that was created to eliminate the need to apply a coat of joint compound before applying the tape. Mesh tapes are self-adhesive, meaning you are able to apply it to the joint first, then apply your mud. This is the second most widely used drywall joint tape in the industry. It is typically used for repairs or new construction. We researched the most sought-after drywall tapes in their respective categories and discovered that the best models are determined by their type, length and coverage area, materials, and other special features included by select brands.

We offer three methods of delivery, DPD for small / lightweight parcels. For larger items (ugly freight) we use DX Freight. We also offer a fixed rate pallet delivery on certain items. A handful of reinforced creased tape is labeled for use on both inside corners and outside corners, and this type should be embedded in compound. However, for novice tapers, a corner bead probably offers the best results on outside corners. Flexibility It’s only natural for first-time drywall DIYers to have some questions.

Most moisture-resistant brands of drywall tape are also mold and mildew resistant, and they may contain fiberglass or other components that naturally resist mold growth. It’s a good idea to use mold-resistant tape in areas with high humidity. Fire Resistant Tape

In my opinion, there’s nothing wrong with paper tape. It is still the most widely used by drywallers. However, if you are a beginner at taping and mudding joints – there’s a good chance you may get bubbles behind your paper tape. Metal drywall tape: Ideal for inside corners, metal tape contains metal strips that make it strong and easy to shape and apply. It is the most expensive option though, and can only be cut with strong snips, and leaves a clear texture under drywall compound. Pros employ the first method, and for them, it’s faster. However, DIYers may find the non-adhesive tape slips around too much on the wet compound, making it difficult to position directly over the seam. Also, wrinkles may form in the tape that are difficult to smooth out. DIYers may prefer self-adhesive tape, because once it’s applied over the seam, it stays put. After that, installers smooth the compound over it, pushing the compound through the mesh surface and into the seam beneath. Inside vs. Outside CornersThis Sure Corner tape, in case the name didn’t convince you, is one of the better options for filling a corner bead due to its metal reinforcements. It nicely finishes an angle and creates straight drywall joints more than paper tape and is easily applied with drywall mud. Mix only small amounts of joint compound at a time. Once the drywall compound begins to set, it can harden within minutes, so small batches help reduce waste.
