Appreciation post: A guy on a big Reno job in Kelowna showed me a better way to tape inside corners
Honestly, I used to be all about the paper tape for inside corners, no question. I thought mesh was for hacks and would always crack. Then, about six months ago, I was on this huge custom home job up in Kelowna. This older guy, Pete, was running the board crew. He saw me struggling with a bubbled paper tape in a tricky bathroom corner and just said, 'Try the fibaFuse stuff with a thin coat first, then your mud.' I was skeptical, but I was also tired of redoing it. So I grabbed a roll from his truck. Ngl, it went on so flat and stuck right away. I did my three coats like normal, and when I sanded, that corner was perfect. No bubbles, no lifting. It changed my whole process for inside work. Has anyone else made the switch to the fiberglass tape for corners, or do you still swear by paper?
