Hi!
We are building walls with OSB boards and plasterboards on top. Now I'm going to fill the joints with paper tape. My question is - in some places there's quite a large gap between the plasterboards. Should I apply a larger amount of filler first and let it dry before applying another layer and then use paper tape? Or should I do it as usual, meaning apply the filler and then immediately use the paper tape?
This part of the wall will be a closet wall, so I'm not too concerned about the appearance.

Hello,
Depending a bit on how large the gaps are, I would probably "base" with gypsum plaster/filler. Then fill as usual

In some places almost 2cm.Hi,

Yes, but then I'll try that because it feels wrong to apply paper strips directly when the filler sinks in after drying!
