Tape Drywall Joints
Drywall? when taping drywall do you tape short joints or long joints first. and do you lap the tape over?robby
just wondered if the long joint tape is to cover the short joint tape to seal the joint or does it matter...............
I do the short joints ..which are actually called Butt joints, Butt joints are staggered so they only go half way down the wall..then I tape the long joints for the tape will overlap the edges from the cut tape on the butt joints...I do butt joints..then long joints....then I hang all the tape on the angles..which will then cover the edges on the long joint tape..You do not necessarily have to cover the joints, but it is much neater..makes the tape stay better, and when you sand your dried joint compound you don't get "into the edge" of a piece of cut tape..for all the edges are covered..This can cause a small fray look in spots if the tore part of the tape comes through the mud after sanding..It just goes for a better job...
