This Fiberglass Mesh Tape reinforces plaster, putty and joint compound over cracks and seams, so repairs stay smooth and are less likely to crack again. Its woven fiberglass grid acts as a skeleton inside the compound, bridging joints in drywall, gypsum board and plaster walls.
The open mesh lets compound pass straight through, avoiding bubbles and blisters, and the alkali-resistant fiberglass won't rot or break down inside cement or plaster. Choose the 4" (80 GSM) roll for drywall joints and hairline cracks, or the heavier, wider 6" (145 GSM) roll for wider cracks, plaster walls and board joints that need extra strength. Each roll is 50 m (164 ft) long, ideal for painters, contractors and home repairs.

- Alkali Resistant: Won't rot or degrade inside cement, plaster or putty

Recommendations & Ideal Use-Cases
Where this fits best
- Wall Joints: Internal and external joints to stop hairline cracks returning
- Board Seams: Joints between drywall, gypsum board and EPS insulation boards
- Crack Repair: Existing wall cracks before repainting or re-plastering
- Frames & Ceilings: Joints around window frames, door frames and ceiling panels
How to Apply
- Prep: Make sure the joint or crack is clean, dry and free of dust and loose plaster
- Lay the Tape: Roll the mesh over the joint or crack and cut it with scissors or a utility blade
- Embed: Apply joint compound, putty or plaster through the mesh with a taping knife or trowel
- Smooth & Feather: Spread outwards from the centre to fill the mesh, feathering the edges for a flush finish
1) Which variant should I choose – 4" or 6"?
Choose 4" (80 GSM) for drywall and gypsum board joints and hairline cracks. Choose 6" (145 GSM) for wider cracks, plaster or cement walls and board joints that need stronger reinforcement, as the heavier, wider mesh covers more area and holds better.
2) What does GSM mean?
GSM is grams per square metre, a measure of the mesh's weight and density. 80 GSM is lighter and more flexible, while 145 GSM is heavier and stronger for demanding repairs.
3) Will it rot inside cement or plaster?
No. The fiberglass is alkali-resistant, so the chemicals in cement, plaster and stucco won't break it down over time.
4) Will the mesh show after painting?
No, when properly applied. Once the compound fully covers the mesh, is sanded flush and painted, the tape stays hidden beneath the finish.
5) Can I use it to repair holes?
Yes, for small holes. Layer strips of mesh across the gap to form a support grid, then fill with joint compound or plaster.
6) Will I receive the same brand as shown in the images?
The brand supplied is subject to stock availability and may differ from the images on our website and app. All supplied products meet the same specifications.
