taping gyprock corners

[dingo1959]

why do you need to use the paper tape for corners and not the gauze stuff which you can use for normal joints cheers

Are u reffering to internal or external corners in relation to Ames Taping over New Gyproc ?

i have used the metal tape for an external corner, the fibreglass gauze stuff for flat joints and i have 3 internal corners to do, to buy paper tape roll i would have to buy huge roll so can you tell me why you can not use the fibreglass gauze for an internal corner , by the way what is the correct name for that fibre gauze i sound like a cowboy with my descriptions at times diyer but when i do something i do it only the correct way cheers

Some people use Fiba Tape (fibre gauze, as u call it) for internal corners. However, one or two or three years later all the filler or plaster starts to fall out. Therefore, u MUST use paper tape on internal corners as it is more hardwearing.
