This caused the tape to not adhere well to the first coat of mud. So when I applied the second coat of mud, the tape absorbed some of the moisture in it, and pulled away from the drywall, creating the blistering. The lessons learned: First, apply a liberal amount of mud on the first coat (approximately 1\/8th inch), prior to applying the tape. Second, don\u2019t press too hard with the trowel when running it over the tape.<\/span><br \/>\n<script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<!-- 468x60_Top_Ad --><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 468px; height: 60px;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3988490936633155\" data-ad-slot=\"2227826263\"><\/ins><br \/>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/p>\n<table style=\"width: 100%;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left;\" width=\"50%\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">In more recent years I have used drywall mesh tape, also known as FibaTape. This product is great in the fact that you do not need to first apply a coat of mud to the joint, prior to applying the tape. The mesh tape has a sticky surface on one side that allows you to attach it to the drywall joint with just a stroke of your trowel.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">There are a couple of negatives with the drywall mesh tape, however. First, it can snag easily on your trowel edges and cause a mess when applying the first coat of mud over it.
