FIXMAN 193980 Plasterboard Corner Tape, Silver, 50 mm x 30 m

I used this after overboarding my living room ceiling and skimming some pretty poor walls with proroll (a premixed and very forgiving easifill type product). To get a nice clean line between both surfaces I bedded this in and skimmed over. Really nice to get a clean, modern line without the need for coving - or paying for a plasterer! I also used if for window reveals to get everything looking sharp. Plus I have loads left - but I'll probably buy one more just to have for future decorating.

We need to clear up a few things here. Firstly, this is not a self adhesive product! Actually, it is an excellent quality reinforced professional corner tape for specific use as a jointing solution for plasterboarding or plaster repairs. This means that as with any plasterboard tape it should be applied over 3 stages of application using the correct grade of adhesive and plaster products, ie The initial adhesion of the bands, then the loading with plaster, then the finishing coat and sanding prior to painting. Each time allowing it to dry. Given this, for the money this is a very good quality product - I have seen this for sale for 40-50 quid a roll and it worked a treat during our restoration.

For the price this is a good product 98% was perfect

I am now the proud owner of a tonne of corner tape and have no practicle use for the rest of it. Comense fun alternarives uses!

This tape can be used for inside and outside corners. It really saves time and money over using metal corner bead as it is easy to apply and cut to length. The tape is constructed of a thick paper with a metal strip along the corner for strength. Simply measure and cut to length and then apply spackling compound to the corners and place this on top and then use your trowel to bed it in and clean up the spackle and corner. It really is quite easy and provides a strong clean corner

To reiterate other reviews this product is not self-adhesive despite the fact it says it in both the description AND on the box. Some have advised sticking it to the wall and then plastering. I tried this and the paper edging has just lifted off the wall under the plaster. I have had to take off all the strips and start again. You must put wet plaster or filler all over the corner and push the tape into the filler. If there are any air bubbles you will get a bad result. To be fair this method is given on the box but I have chosen to cut the outside paper away from the metal strips to avoid any more bubbling. Metal strips are good, so if you follow this advice you should get a decent result.

Found this really easy to work with. Meatal re-enforced folded middle makes internal corners an absolute breeze to tape and leaved them strong and sharp once dried. I'm no professional taper but found it a doddle.

Worked very well but this is not adhesive. I used a wide nanotape to apply around my window frame and am pleased with the result. Corners are sharp and look professional
