Where the repair section is through an existing tape joint should you tape over existing tape joint?

@1949djl

All the joints in the repair need to be taped. If one edge runa along a previously taped joint I would remove the existing tape along that section and replace it with new tape rather than taping over it. if it just crosses over a taped joint I wouldn't bother removing the tape.

Hope this is clear enough.

Hi, is this the same instructions for a hole in fibro wall?

[Tennex01]

@eightiesdag Yes pretty much. Except it will not cut as easy.

Good luck with it.

Cheers Rod

Hey Rod - What kind of screws are those? and any predrilling? I looks like the screws go in too easily for there not to be predrilling involved?

[Tennex01]

Just s point plasterboard screws. They do go in easy. No pre-drilling involved.

Thank you so much for this series. I thought I was going to have to pay someone to fix an ugly hole in my ceiling but thanks to you, I was able to do the repair on my own.
