FibaFuse Paperless Drywall Joint Tape - 52mm x 76m

FibaFuse is a paperless, mould-resistant glass fibre joint tape from Saint-Gobain ADFORS. Its open fibre structure lets the joint compound pass right through the tape and fuse with it, so the joint is reinforced by compound on both sides instead of relying on a paper skin. Filler penetrates the porous tape, which eliminates blisters during application.

FibaFuse is thinner than standard paper tape, which reduces the risk of a raised joint and keeps joints from showing in raking light. That makes it ideal where the board has no recess, such as butt joints, cracks in concrete or cement board. It is easy to cut, holds its fold in internal corners, and runs through banjos and bazooka tapers as well as working by hand.
