A question for those of you wise in the lore of the gypsum!
I have a mammoth plasterboard skiming session about to begin, so it's time to get all the joints taped.
Does one traditionally tape the wall to ceiling 90 degree joint as well?
Yep otherwise over time it will crack
Yes, providing you are plastering both surfaces. You can't otherwise, obviously.
Thought it sounded like a good idea, but wan not sure if it was common practice. I will go get taping, thanks chaps.
It was a shame the coyboys who plastered my last house (c.1986) didn't follow the lead too. I had to fix it using coving.
Christian.
It can be a mixed blessing. If the movememt is anything much more than a hairline crack, then the scrim tape might make it worse, and more difficult to repair.
Same problem in ours (1956), most of the ceilings have some hairline cracks at the plasterboard joins. The previous owner had the ceilings all artexed which hid them for a few years, but now they are back.
