Our fiberglass scrim tape is made from a highly durable and tear-resistant fiberglass mesh material. It is self-adhesive scrim tape, which simplifies application. This scrim mesh tape is designed to be embedded in joint compound or drywall mud, which then covers and smooths the tape to create a seamless and professional finish.
The primary purpose of drywall scrim tape is to prevent cracks and other damage along the joints between drywall sheets. Drywall installations often have slight gaps or inconsistencies between sheets , which can lead to cracks and visible seams if not properly reinforced. Our scrim tape effectively bridges these gaps, creating a stronger joint and significantly reducing the likelihood of future issues.
To use drywall scrim tape, simply apply it directly over the joint or seam between two drywall sheets and press firmly for good adhesion. After application, cover the tape completely with joint compound or drywall mud, then smooth and feather the compound for a flawless finish.
