Hello!
I bought a stack of plasterboards the other day. They are to be used for the walls in our storage/office. Once I carried them in, I noticed the edges are not tapered but have full thickness all the way out. What I now wonder is if it will create problems when the joint tape and filler are applied. If it will, so to speak, create a "high joint." We will have fiberglass wallpaper on the board, which will of course also be painted.
Grateful for good advice. :S

Hello!
Outdoor plasterboard is usually 9mm, right? And it has a waxed surface to resist moisture. Measure the thickness; indoor plasterboard is usually 13mm. Did you perhaps buy a low-cost option? You could try to exchange it at the store where you bought the plasterboard.
What does the receipt say? Otherwise, if it's not possible to exchange for beveled edge plasterboard, you might just go ahead with it; fiberglass fabric isn't very sensitive to imperfect seams, and a storage/office space is a place where you might accept some imperfections.
