Re: taping in three days


seems like your hanger is having problems hitting boxes and plugs.... looks that way to me anyways? is there ever really a reason to coat those things if they're routered properly?

Is that comment to Joepro's picture? If so, I was wondering the same thing. Joe, if you ever want a 99% router cut, let us know. We'll take a road trip and teach your guys! ha

Re: taping in three days


To answer the original post, I'll say it can be done in three days to a reasonable quality level.

Two coats overtop of paper tape.

For me, I prefer taping with setting compound instead of using it to coat over wet tape. If you have good heat and ventilation, tape your job out in the morning and put your first coat on after the tapes have been sitting for a few hours.

It's not cutting corners. It's simply using the materials and your own capabilities to acheive a good quality finished product in a short(er) time. The rest of what's involved is knowing what steps have to be done and leaving out what isn't necessary.
