tony, this may sound stupid because ive never done tape and joint. but a, how do you do a butt joint? and b, if you do it by just blending it, wouldnt the wall then be uneven?

 

[PhilPlaster]

Also Tony, with tape and joint dont you have to stagger your joints?

 

[TonyM]

With a butt joint, I will make the finished joint double the width of a tapered joint to feather it out. If I had boarded the place, I would have staggered the joints, but i'm only taping it. The 'builders' boarded it and left plenty of screws sticking out and areas un nogged.

 

[beddy]

how much does it stick out all together then tony? surel it would bulge out slightly if you put a straight edge on it?

If the boarding is spot on, then only 2-3 mm at most.

 

[beddy]

is it not visible on the skirting line?

 

[TonyM]

It would be more noticeable if there was a hardwood skirting and the top wasn't caulked. Generally once it's all painted it doesn't stand out. As always, it depends who's boarded & taped it.

Butt joints done well dont notice atall if ime doing a top clas job i run a skim above and below the joint about a foot apart and when gone of fill that then feather the outer edges rub down and go over the lot again and rub down, you end up with a band about a metre wide so dosent notice but half the time it would be quicker to skim it but people wont listen.
