Muricans.


Wrong

I'll stick w fibreglass mesh.

Good idea - just because you object to Canadian terminology you stick to
something that is difficult to use in corners and probably will not work
to prevent cracks.

And you use air dry or quick set mud?

Fibreglass mesh has always worked for me with UK plasters, why
change on basis of an inappropriate amateur yt video & someone
who doesn't understand the difference?

Fibreglass mesh or paper tape will both do the same thing. The advantage of the paper tape especially the type with the two metal strips is that it will produce a defined crease at the joint.
