has anyone tried this yet looks interesting and have ordered a free trial sample. cannot be used in a taper ,has its own built in adhiesive ,thicker than coventional tapes but the reasoning is its supposed to save on the amount of mud/compound used. states its adjustable after initial tack and bond strengthens over the coarse of a couple of days. fully coatable immediatly mud/hot mud.

Used it Friday. Looks like good stuff. Should be at nearly 25 bucks a roll for a 100' roll. Does use a little less mud, and is sticky, and coats nice with the boxes. Didn't try it in the angles. Too hard to get self adhesive to bed properly in an angle. But flats look good. I think it will stand up better than paper tape in temp changes. Good in certain situations. Worth your time to get the sample roll.
