I endorse this solution. I had a drywall cracking issue in one bedroom
at the
corner of my house where I had freeze/thaw foundation issues. The
foundation
was later upgraded, but the drywall cracking was repaired using the mesh
tape
before that, and held up well over a couple of seasonal cycles before
then.
Worked amazingly well.

I too recommend the fiberglass tape. I had an old house in Los Angeles
where one corner over a door cracked very badly every year. I must have
repaired that crack half a dozen times before I used the tape. After
using the tape I never had another crack over that door for the rest of
the time I lived in that house which was about twelve years.

Are you saying you used paper tape and it cracked?
