Just about to start plaster boarding my new stud wall. I have the non
tapered edge plasterboard. Do I just butt the sheets up against each
other and scrim tape over the joints in preperation for skimming?

TIA

leave 1/4 - 1/2" gaps, the plaster squishes thru and bonds them
together. Otherwise the joints jhust crack.

Or use the sticky open weave (glass?) tape to tape the joints, which is
equally as good.
