Default Stupid plastering error

'Plaster other side only'. It looks o.k. at the moment but the

It comes from the days when the scrim used was hemp. You put a layer of
hemp and plaster along the joints to stop them cracking. This thickness
is still allowed for on the grey side of the board. With modern
fibreglass masking, there is no need for that extra step.

You did use something across the joints? (Just a little kick in the
pants. It's not a major catastrophe, especially if you are tiling.)
