No paper strips between the drywall sheets - cracks

[MathiasS]

I have not heard/seen that paper tape is glued, that's all I meant.
I have done both variants, fiberglass and paper tape.
The result is the same. Bunglers who fail.
But now I'll stop, it seems like the topic is somehow upsetting you.

I'm not the least bit upset, but you keep asking the same question over and over despite getting clear references to why things are done the way they are. It gets a bit repetitive.

It's probably good to stop.

It's probably best to drop it.

No, I'm responding to those who reply to me with follow-up questions, just like to you.

Why do people talk about gluing paper strips etc. these days?

There are simple fabric strips that you can tape over joints and then plaster over, or you use paper strips and plaster over them. As an amateur, I can do this and have done it for years and the drywall seams hold.

You don't need to be gluing with fabric/wallpaper paste, it's completely unnecessary. You're making it too complicated 😂

Agree. I've never seen a painter put glue on a paper wallpaper strip. They first lay a thin line of plaster in the joint, then put the strip on and cover with more plaster.

The fiberglass strips aren't used that often by the painters I've seen, most use the paper strips and "plaster" them in as I described. No glue at all.

Agree. I've never seen a painter put glue on a paper tape strip. They first apply a thin line of joint compound in the seam. Apply the strip and then cover with more joint compound.

Fiberglass strips are not used often by the painters I've seen; most use the paper strips and "mud" them as I described. No gluing at all.

Yep, that is the correct method.
But apparently, after checking a lot of amateur instructions after it was mentioned here, gluing also works fine.
But if you're joining on a wall and plan to wallpaper, the fiber strips have always worked well for me.
On ceilings, I've used paper and joint compound, but as I said, glue also works fine.
I'm not a painter, I'm an amateur, feels a bit like gluing is an unnecessary step, but yeah, go with what suits you 😅
