Plaster ceiling with gaps!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hello!

I was wondering if anyone has a good tip regarding a ceiling with plasterboard, the problem is that in certain parts of the ceiling there are gaps between the plasterboards, and unfortunately no sparse panel behind, just air, sigh!

I was thinking if it is possible to fix it with, for example, joint tape (paper) or fiberglass tape, since I am going to splice the walls with paper joint tape because the painters refer to that technique, and thought that maybe one could save the situation with that technique even in the ceiling?

Does anyone know or have other alternatives?

Why are there gaps? Carelessness/movements or what?

The gaps are due to carelessness during the installation of the first board, which resulted in some gaps at certain joints.

Apply putty in the usual way with fiberglass tape. If there are large gaps, you will need to press putty into the gap before applying the tape and adding more putty. Then you need to putty, sand, putty, sand, putty, and sand until you are satisfied.

A careless preparation rarely pays off as the afterwork takes much more time, as you have now noticed. However, it can be resolved.
