Overview:

Toupret Plasterboard Self-Adhesive Scrim Joint Tape is a self-adhesive mesh tape for joining plasterboard panels. Made from woven polyester and synthetic elastomer, it bonds directly to tapered or butted plasterboard. It is recommended for use alongside Toupret Joint Filler to achieve a smooth, professional finish.

Each roll measures 90m long and 48mm wide, providing good coverage across jointing jobs of any size. The tape performs at temperatures between 5°C and 35°C, so it suits a range of indoor site conditions. Once in place, it can be overcoated with any filler, paint or wall covering.

Application is simple - peel the backing and press the adhesive side directly onto the plasterboard joint. A filling knife is all that is needed to apply the joint filler over the top. Clean tools with water after use and store unused rolls in a cool, dry place away from moisture.
