Overview:

The Toupret Self-Adhesive Scrim Tape is a strong, open-weave mesh tape made to reinforce inert or moving cracks in interior walls and ceilings. It bonds directly to gypsum plaster and plasterboard surfaces without additional adhesive, saving preparation time on site.

The scrim features non-fraying edges for a cleaner application and a more controlled finish. It works best when used alongside Toupret fillers, which are applied over the tape to create a smooth, stable repair.

Each roll measures 50mm x 20m, making it appropriate for covering a large number of repairs from a single roll. Apply between 5°C and 35°C and avoid use in humidity above 80%.

Key Features and Benefits

• Self-adhesive: Bonds directly to the surface with no additional adhesive required.
• Open-weave mesh: Strong construction allows filler to penetrate and bond through the tape for a secure repair.
• Non-fraying edges: Clean-cut borders make handling and positioning straightforward.
• Reinforces cracks: Suitable for both inert and moving cracks in plasterboard and gypsum plaster.
• Interior use: Formulated for internal walls and ceilings.
• Compatible with Toupret fillers: Designed to work alongside the full range of Toupret filler products.
• Generous roll length: Each roll provides 20 metres of tape for extended use on larger projects.
• White finish: Dries white, blending with plasterboard and filler for a consistent base coat.
• Easy to apply: Apply by hand using a blade or brush with no specialist equipment needed.

Typical Applications

• Reinforcing hairline and moving cracks in gypsum plaster walls.
• Bridging joins and seams in plasterboard installations.
• Strengthening repaired areas before finishing with filler.
• Stabilising cracked corners and angles on interior surfaces.
• Preparing cracked ceilings prior to skimming or filling.
• General crack reinforcement in interior renovation and refurbishment work.

How to Use

• Prepare the surface: Make sure the surface is clean, dry, and free from loose or bonded coatings before application. Do not apply over bonded coatings.

• Check conditions: The temperature must be between 5°C and 35°C, and relative humidity must not exceed 80%.

• Apply the scrim: Cut the scrim to the required length and press it firmly over the crack or join, centring it over the area to be repaired.

• Smooth into place: Use a blade or brush to press the mesh flat against the surface, removing any air pockets or lifted edges.

• Apply filler: Cover the scrim with a suitable Toupret filler, working it into the mesh and feathering out the edges for a smooth finish.

• Clean tools: Wash all tools with water immediately after use.
