"Quick set mud" "air dry mud" ?

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?



It's not plaster and the OP expressed a wish not to plaster.

You don't have to skim plasterboard.


Again what "mud" you using? Gyproc? So Gypsum based? Like plaster?.....

I'd still use mesh, once it's in & set how's it ever going to
'twist & shear' & allow cracks more than a bit of
paper??
