Sheetrock Fiberglass Drywall Tape

Greater joint strength and crack resistance are provided by drywall made using a special cross-fiber construction. In comparison to other fiberglass mesh tapes, Sheetrock® Brand Fiberglass Drywall Tape has a stronger cross-fiber design to produce drywall joints. The Fiberglass Drywall Tape by Sheetrock® is resistant to stretching, ripping, shrinking, and distortion. Additionally, it prevents joint cracking, which can happen when using regular fiberglass mesh tape. Setting-type joint compounds (rather than ready-mixed or powder drying-type joint compounds) are advised for the initial application over Sheetrock® Fiberglass Drywall Tape when reinforcing joints and corners in drywall interiors.

Setting-type or drying-type joint compounds (ready-mixed or powder) may be used for the second application. The use of Sheetrock® Fiberglass Drywall Tape is advised when repairing minor holes and cracks in drywall and plaster surfaces using either setting-type or drying-type joint solutions.
