In Reply to: Drywall Taping Posted by: Don on May 22, 2001 at 17:16:05:

What can you do if the tape bubbles, i.e. pulls away from the wallboard? After I put the second coat of mud on I noticed a couple of places where the paper tape "bubbled" a bit. Is there an easy fix for this?

Take the edge of your 6" drywall knife and put it behind the tape so the part with the bubble is off the wall and put a little mud behind it and wipe it tight one time. Bubbles are caused by -if the gap is to big between the two sheets of sheetrock or - not enough mud behind the tape. Very easy to fix!
