So true about using fibre glass tape only on recessed joins. I did a small cellar and used it on a couple of butt joints and am already regretting it. Live and learn i guess! Cheers for the videos mate.
I think fiber glass tape is stronger and creates a better joint but it does not lay as flat as paper tape so you have 2 float your patch wider 2 get a flat finish.ive never repaired a patch or joint that was done with fiber glass tape do 2 popping or cracking so paper tape has kept me in business.This is just from my personal experience so take it as you will.
Streety101 Fiber glass tape is the weakest type of tape used by plasterers and should be used for recessed wall joins ONLY. Never on ceilings never on butt joins or repairs.
I've hardly ever seen either type tear, but cracks can show through mesh; paper seems to stretch up to a point and then peel (yuk). If I expect a joint or crack to flex more than usual, I "tuck" the mesh and coat it with paint or glue before skim coating it; even then it usually lies flat enough that I don't have to build it out much. Maybe I've just been lucky, but most of this work has been on my own houses, so I've had to live with the results.
I've been using mesh tape on patches like this, ceilings and butt joints for years with no problems, though I usually use pre-mixed compound, which has a fair amount of give, for the top layer. Paper tape is thinner, but it needs to be coated on both sides, so at least in my experience, the total thickness has usually been greater than with mesh.

Too many people botch up a job because they have not seen the correct way to go about it.
I am sure many people will benefit from this type of video, at least I hope so.
