Paper tape and plasterboard joint filler


I prefer the fibreglass mesh tape.



Many youtube videos indicate for corners paper is always used.
For patching flat walls etc. (where no movement is expected) mesh can be
used.


I used paper for the corners and flat panels - worked fine. The V seemed to
give a nice bed for the filler.
