Greater joint strength and crack resistance are provided by drywall made using a special cross-fiber construction. In comparison to other fiberglass mesh tapes, USG ME Fiberglass Drywall Tape has a stronger cross-fiber design to produce drywall joints. The Fiberglass Drywall Tape by USG ME is resistant to stretching, ripping, shrinking, and distortion. Additionally, it prevents joint cracking, which can happen when using regular fiberglass mesh tape. Setting-type joint compounds (rather than ready-mixed or powder-drying-type joint compounds) are advised for the initial application over USG ME Fiberglass Drywall Tape when reinforcing joints and corners in drywall interiors.
Setting-type or drying-type joint compounds (ready-mixed or powder) may be used for the second application. The use of USG ME Fiberglass Drywall Tape is advised when repairing minor holes and cracks in drywall and plaster surfaces using either setting-type or drying-type joint solutions.
