NEOTAPE In addition to seaming drywall joints, use self-adhesive drywall mesh tape to reinforce or repair wall cracks, plasterboard cracks, and cement board. Save considerable time and eliminate one step of mudding when combining the self-adhesive mesh tape with a setting compound. The mesh tape’s open weave construction will allow moisture to evaporate evenly and much more quickly without the worry of bubbles and blistering when compared to paper tapes in order to keep them clean and your surfaces protected.
