Is there something similar at Bauhaus, I've used it on some odd angles, and also used it on windows, where you have some form of corner profile (for cost reasons). Make sure to have putty properly under the entire tape, it sometimes tends to get air bubbles under the metal itself.
The ones I used were in a cardboard box, I don't remember if I bought from krauta or Bauhaus, but it was in Jönköping by the highway. I think both chains are located there.
Then used abranet without a vacuum (laziness) and have painted walls.
Bauhaus seems to have free shipping right now and half price on the tape.

We don't have Bauhaus in Jönköping yet, but K-Rauta is, as you say, by the motorway.Snailman said:
Great, then I'll get a metal/paper strip for the roof! I guess I'll need to make a degree template to bend before I glue up the strip.
Now I'm working on the window corners and realized I haven't thought about the order of two tasks. It's the caulking between the drywall and the window, as well as between the drywall and the window sill that I'm thinking about. Should this be done before I spackle or is it done last?

Like glue for wet room wallpaper?Stefan N said:
Brilliant! Any opinions on whether I should caulk around the windows before or after spackling?
It was the krautas version I used. Proroc or whatever it was called.
I've now made good progress and have a related question: If you plan to cover the entire ceiling with microlit before painting, is there any point in using fine filler as the final layer, or is it fine to just apply coarse filler directly?
Microlit covers almost no flaws in the filler because it is so thin. Installing microlit on the ceiling is a hell and can easily look ugly. You need to be quite experienced with ceiling installation to get it right.
But if you have taped your joints, there is no reason to bother with microlit, since I assume you have plastered the ceiling.

Hmm, yes I have taped all the joints with wet-room glued paper strips. So microlit is pointless?
After installing microlit on a ceiling for the first time yesterday, I just have to say that it's not fun. It's difficult to match the seams together (not overlapping). I managed reasonably well, but not as good as I would like.oceanis said:
Slightly hijacking the thread, but I think the original poster is also interested in answers to my question. If, like me, you have gaps of 2 mm at one end and overlapping at the other end of the microlit strip, what do you think of my plan?
1 Prime
2 Fill the gap and then sand
3 Shave the overlapping seam and optionally fill if needed.
My thought is that after priming, it would be easier to sand the filler and shave the seams when the microlit is harder from the paint. What do you think about that?
