site spec

[Skimmers]

started on a site in london and the spec is to paper tape joints first before skimming bedding paper tape into wet plaster into the joints then 2mm skim over. Any one been asked to do this on site?
apparently its the best way to stop cracks ect
bedding tape into joints or into jointing compound then applying gypPrime.
and skim.

its abit of a ball ach but i can see how its better off

Yes, but not using gyp prime.
