Inside Plaster Corners

I've got cracks down the angles
on some inside corners, lath
and plaster.
Do I need to tape them to fill
with hot mud?
TIA

I've used durabond on situations like that with good sucess.
Fill with durabond, then top with regular mud.

No tape either.

I have used an adheasive as well in a corner to hold that crack and then smoothed it out with topping compound.
