One of my tapers and i are having a discussion on how many coats to do with the box's.
Currently he is using the auto taper, then 10" on 2 setting, and final with a 12" on 3or 4 setting.

I am in the mindset that we should be running the 7" to fill the bevels, then 10 on 3 and 12 on 5

I am curious as to what everyone else runs...

Hi i am curious I seem to have about this happen to me from time to time and it seems to be more on patches than on newly hung rock.

I will get a spot or to that lifts up. sometimes it doesnt lift up until paint. i usually cut into the side mud behind and re attatch and it seems to be fine.

I knew a guy who used to dampen his tape before he put it up. but I really dont care for doing that and had it lift up on me after doing this.


Just wondering if there were any tricks or something i could pay more attention to, to make this a problem of the past.


Thanks everyone. ]]> Drywall MarcD http://www.contractortalk.com/f49/anyone-have-tricks-stop-tape-lifting-up-68299/
