Professional tapers and apprentices can achieve the flattest butt-joints possible. Butt-Tape is twice as fast, two times as strong, finishes in one coat, and results in half of the work than using conventional paper or mesh tapes. Ideal for butt-joints and commercial “Top-Out” applications, Butt-Tape leaves butt-joints virtually unnoticeable. Butt-Tape requires no pre-filling, will not shrink, and does not require compound over the pre-finished laminated center. The tape’s outer edge features a diamond punch pattern for a superior bond, faster drying, with no rippling or blistering.
