How To Use Fiberglass Mesh

When you're taping sheetrock seams, it's imperative that you apply an even coat of drywall mud for a smooth finish. Fiberglass mesh is easier to use than drywall paper tape and it resists bubbling. Although paper tape is quicker if you're a professional, most do-it-yourselfers will find that fiberglass mesh offers a workable substitute.

Step1 Prepare your installed drywall sheets by aligning the edges as tightly as possible before beginning the taping process. Wipe the bare seams down with a tack cloth to remove drywall dust.

Step2 Unroll one end of the fiberglass mesh and determine which side is sticky. Begin at the top and stick only the top edge of the mesh on the seam. Leave a 1-inch space from the ceiling. Carefully, unroll the mesh as you hold it outwards from the wall. If you allow it to touch too soon, it will adhere and make it difficult to apply in a straight line.

Step3 Hold the bottom edge of the unrolled fiberglass mesh at the bottom of the seam. While watching to make sure the seam is in the middle of the mesh, lower it until it meets the wall.

Step4 Cut the bottom edge of the mesh and use your hands to gently smooth the mesh from the center to each end, ensuring that no wrinkles form.

Step5 Scoop some prepared drywall mud into a taping bucket with the 6-inch taping knife. Using the same knife, pick up a small portion of the mud, approximately one-half cup, and put it on the fiberglass mesh, smoothing as you go. Since this is the first coat, use some pressure to force the mud through the holes in the mesh and into the seam. Cover the entire seam with an even coat of mud.

Step6 Follow up immediately, while the mud is still soft, with the 10-inch taping trowel. Pull the trowel along the seam carefully, smoothing the mud and leveling it with the surface of the wall. Make sure you smooth out any crown on the seam.

Step7 Allow the mud to dry, sand off rough edges or lumps and apply two more very thin coats. Sand after the last coat is dry and paint or texture your walls.

Warnings ·  If you get a wrinkle in the mesh when you're applying it to the seams, use the utility knife to cut out the wrinkle as closely as possible and proceed to tape the seam. ·  Fiberglass mesh is easier to use than taper's paper, but it is thicker and requires more mud to cover.

Can anyone tell me how to fix stone mesh backed wall tiles to a wall so that they do not slip or close up?

If you are using the the tiles with the mesh backing, you can use small nails to hold it in place after you apply the mortar, just pull them out after it dries so you can grout. do not drive them in, the heads will rust, can cause discoloration in your grout
