This Fiberglass Mesh Drywall Joint Tape by MAK is a high-performance reinforcement solution designed for speed and durability in drywall finishing. Unlike traditional paper tape, this self-adhesive mesh eliminates the need for a “bedding coat” of compound, significantly reducing your installation time.
Product Overview
The MAK Fiberglass Mesh Tape measures 2 inches wide by 275 feet long, providing extensive coverage for residential and commercial drywall projects. Its open-mesh weave allows air to escape, virtually eliminating the bubbles and blisters commonly found with paper tape.
Key Features
-
Self-Adhesive Backing: Sticks directly to the drywall surface, allowing you to tape all your seams before applying any joint compound.
-
High-Strength Fiberglass: Provides superior structural reinforcement to prevent cracks in high-stress areas and along joints.
-
Mold & Moisture Resistant: The inorganic fiberglass material will not rot or support mold growth, making it ideal for bathrooms and kitchens.
-
Bubble-Free Application: The mesh design allows compound to pass through easily, ensuring a solid bond with the board and a flatter finish.

Application Tip
For maximum joint strength, it is highly recommended to use a setting-type joint compound (often called “hot mud”) for the first coat over fiberglass mesh tape. This creates a rock-hard bond that is much stronger than standard drying-type compounds.
