Description

Cut a strip of Finishing Tape sufficient to cover a drywall seam. Take the cut strip and quickly dip into any water bath just long enough to wet both sides of the Tape and then quickly remove it from the water. Place the wet strip over the drywall seam. Smooth the wet tape with a towel or an 8” drywall knife to remove excess water. Allow 5-10 minutes for the Tape to dry before applying the first coat of joint compound. Do not attempt to reposition the tape once applied. Repositioning it will cause damage to the wallboard surface. Simply place a new strip of tape over the misaligned tape. As an option, DIYS can use the PROFESSIONAL step, which follows.
