This specialized tape essentially covers and reinforces the joints and seams between sheets of drywall, creating the appearance and functionality of one solid wall. If joint compound is used, it helps bond it to the drywall surface, creating a smooth, crack-free finish. Drywall tape can also be used for corners and any other joints that require reinforcement. It’s crucial for both new installations and repairs.
In wet applications, drywall paper tape is typically moistened and embedded into freshly applied joint compound, creating a strong bond between the drywall surface and the mud. This is better suited to new, larger installations with lots of seams.
Dry applications mostly involve the use of self-adhesive fiber mesh tapes. These stick to the drywall without the need for compound. This is faster and more convenient for minor repairs and small projects.
Yes, drywall tape is commonly used to repair existing sheets or walls. Drywall mesh tape is ideal for quick fixes and minor cracks and holes, while paper tape provides a more robust finish for extensive or complex repairs. Drywall patches are often needed for larger holes and fixes, supported by drywall joint or corner tape.
