You’re all bonkers if you’re gonna use some random tape that the “inventor” knows f**k all about or even decided what it’s for lol.. on your own jobs just because it’s free.

Id be worried about a phone fall months later saying all the angles have cracked

Why would they crack? As long as the tape holds them in place long enough for the gear to set then they wouldn’t move any more than setting them in with gear before you skim
The holes in the beads are letting skim grab some suction from the background and hold them on
That’s my understanding anyway

I agree with that, I just wouldn’t trust it. Just seems like a pointless risk for a non existent problem.

I’m more interested in trying it out as a high tac scrim on Re skims where there’s bad cracks, I always staple beads onto pboard and usually bed on with gear on reskim unless back ground is soft and I still staple
I can see the benefits on small jobs, I did a chimney last week, background too hard for nails/staples and I didn’t want to hang around waiting for gear to grab hold so in that situation I would have used the new tape

I get what you’re saying mate.

If clout nails won’t do it i’ll use scrim to hold them in place them skim em on. decent scrim easily holds a bead.


Tbh I’d not use it over cracks on re-skim. If a crack resurfaces through scrim tape then there’s movment. Movement would knock that tape off completely just like it does with papertape

Same principle for render mesh in skim.

It's only for beads at this stage and once plaster has set the tape has done it's job.
I've been using it for nearly two years.
"Carry on clouting"

The holes would accomadate the movement
