nice vid, just what I needed. Can tape be used on corners?

[tommystradesecrets]

@person8203 Thanks for the comment. You can use the scrim tape in internal corners but only if both tapered edges are married up. For external corners they do a special tape which is reinforced by metal and bends in half. I hope this is helpful. Many thanks TSTV.

Hi, I would plasterboard the ceiling first definitely, the reason for this is once the ceiling is boarded, the plasterboard you place on the walls give the ceiling boards more support. I hope this helps. Many thanksTSTV

You are very, very good and make it look so easy. I know there are many hours of practice there, and probably an excellent instructor or two, but you look like a natural.
