Hi guys,

I went back to the job I had done 2 months ago. I saw cracks between walls and ceilings in few spots. I thinned the mud little bit for my “better then ever tools “and “super taper”. No cracks over windows or doors (no drywall joints over doors and windows). Framing was done in the summer (New England height humidity) and I taped right after. I did talk to sale rep from all-wall and he told me that is movement in the framing, humidity, new construction etc. I asked him if maybe I thinned the mud too much. He said no. What you guys think? How to talk to the customer if the cracks are not my fault?

Sorry

I have been working in construction for 8 years. I taped quite few houses with no cracks (no calls back anyway) but just recently switched to “better than ever” and “super taper”.

Capt read my post first please, before you make sarcastic comment. I wrote “super taper” that will means no mesh. I did not use hot mud as well. What else you need to know?

crown molding is not an option but thank you

D's thank you. “Super taper” I can adjust that will be an easy fix in the future. I adjusted super taper for less mud (trying to be cleaner). I installed the tape than roller and flusher, maybe when I pulled the flusher I pushed to hard. I prefilled everything bigger then 1/8”. I installed tape and did 2 more coats after it. It is not drying for sure I know these. I used just flushers (not direct flushers) but I would like to do some thing so I can use thicker mud with out pushing so hard.
