FibaFuse FDW8201-U 2-1/16-Inch by 250-Feet Paperless Drywall Tape, White

So much easier to work with than paper tape. No bubbles to chase. Adheres nicely, lightweight and easy to use. The only downside, recommend wearing gloves during install as you may get fiberglass slivers.

I will never use mesh tape again...this is fantastic and easy - even for a small hole. It is easy to tear - just one note - wear gloves if you're handling a lot of it - it can leave fiberglass 'splinters' in your hand

Likes: Thin, very strong when installed. In garage with high moisture, the paper tape would crack or start to separate at joints on ceiling. FibaFuse with hot mud doesn't let go or crack.Dislikes: Fiberglass sometimes makes my finger itch.

Works great for my application which is some drywall patching for light replacements.

Using this rather than paper after reviewing videos. WISH the fiber had the pleated seam down the middle for corners.

TL;DRPros:🟢 Requires a thinner mud coating than paper and mesh drywall tape.🟢 Minimal tear out if over sanded.🟢 Joint compound is able to seep into the tape as it's porous.🟢 Tolerates active drying (heat guns/blow driers/blower fans) more than paper/mesh tape.🟢 Adheres closer to the substrate than paper/mesh tape.🟢 Does not expire nearly as fast like mesh tape (might not even truly expire, but a date is listed for 3ish years).🟢 Better mold resistance than paper tape.Cons:🔴 Will make you super itchy, as it is fiberglass after all so wear gloves when handling.🔴 Ceiling corners/inner corners are more difficult to apply than with paper tape, outer corners are nearly as easy.🔴 Tolerates dust poorly compared to paper/mesh tape so a bag is necessary to give the roll an extend life.It's easy to work with and is far more mold resistant than paper tape so it can be used in just about any application. If you oversand it'll create fuzzies, however another coat of mud will fix it up with ease. My only con is that it can make you itch like no tomorrow, but it's worth the irritation for the results.If you buy fiberglass tape, make sure to wear a long sleeve shirt and nitrile gloves. If you end up getting stuck by fibers, rub your hands generously with vaseline and dish soap. When you're done using the joint tape, store it in a freezer bag to extend the life of it.

This Drywall Tape made my drywall project so much more convenient. It’s easy to work with, bonds smoothly, and I didn’t have to worry about bubbling like with regular paper tape. The seamless finish looks great but you need to wear protective gloves to handle it.

Whether it's a seam or a stress crack FibaFuse is perfect. Strong and easy to use. If you're sensitive to fiberglass, I would recommend gloves while using, it can make you itchy.
