Today's construction tip...? Glue strip with wet room primer...
I read many threads where there are questions about tape when spackling... I myself have always used paper tape wet-on-wet in the beveled edges of drywall and then self-adhesive fiberglass tape on the short sides or joints of the boards that lack beveling...
On Sunday, I faced the dilemma that the fiberglass tape was finished and the wallpaper glue I had used once to glue paper tape had clumped up... However, I had a can of wet room primer and paper tape...
I simply glued up the paper tape with the wet room primer and also painted over the tape with a bit more wet room primer.
It sticks like a rock after it dried and is even lower than it usually is with the wallpaper glue (which is quite thick).
I have spackled and painted now and it still holds up with no indication of coming loose...
Just thought I'd share this as I believe it will become my future method, both in beveled and non-beveled joints!

The moisture-resistant base I have is suitable for the adhesion of fabric (isn't every moisture-resistant base that way?)... My thought with the tip was mainly that the moisture-resistant base is quite thin, so it creates a "low" bump when you glue the strip...
