Plastering and filling, should it be that difficult?
I have always glued paper strips (with wet room primer) unless there are beveled edges against each other. If there are beveled edges against each other, I usually use fiberglass tape because I find it difficult to get the paper strip right wet-on-wet, and it tends to start bubbling, or you get creases if you pull too hard, so I think fiberglass is better there...

The Branchrådet says that you should use a paper strip.
The Branchrådet says that you should glue the strip on cut edges.
The Branchrådet says that you can glue the strip on beveled edges if you want.
When glued, no reinforcement in the filler is needed.
The only ironic thing here is that you seem to work with this without knowing how it works.

"the industry council says" oh really... so what? I'm not an entrepreneur, I do it for myself and base the junction on my experience of what works... and the point is that it's done in many different ways but seems to hold up well for the most part anyway.
