FAQ's of Non Adhesive Fiber Glass Mesh Tape 145mmX50mm:
Q: How do I apply the Non Adhesive Fiberglass Mesh Tape during plasterboard or drywall repairs?
A: To use the tape, cut the desired length and position it over the joint or crack so it sits flat and overlaps the area needing reinforcement. Then, apply a layer of joint compound or paste evenly on top to embed the tape, ensuring the mesh remains covered for optimal bonding and surface smoothness.
Q: What benefits does this mesh tape offer compared to standard paper or adhesive tapes?
A: This fiberglass mesh tape offers superior tensile strength, heat resistance up to 150C, fire retardant capability, and excellent alkali resistance. Its non-adhesive design allows better integration into joint compounds, reducing cracking and providing lasting reinforcement for plasterboard and drywall surfaces.
Q: When is it ideal to use this tape for repair or reinforcement tasks?
A: This tape is best used during initial jointing of plasterboards, reinforcing corners, and repairing drywall cracks or holes. It is also suitable for renovation projects where strength, fire retardance, and moisture resistance are required, particularly in areas susceptible to humidity and temperature fluctuations.
Q: Where should the fiberglass mesh tape be stored for optimal shelf life and performance?
A: To maintain product quality, store the mesh tape in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight and moisture. Proper storage extends its shelf life to 12 months and ensures peak performance when needed.
Q: What is the process for jointing plasterboard with this mesh tape?
A: Cut the tape to match the joint's length, position it smoothly over the seam, and embed it in a layer of joint compound. Once dry, additional layers of compound can be applied and sanded for a flush finish, resulting in a reinforced, crack-resistant joint.
Q: Is the tape suitable for environments exposed to high temperature or fire risk?
A: Yes, its heat resistance up to 150C and fire retardant qualities make it suitable for use in locations with elevated temperatures or potential fire hazards, providing additional safety and durability to construction and repair works.
