Prep for 2 cut joints

by Michelle

Hi
I’ve had to use 2 cut ends of plasterboard together. What prep is needed before I plaster? Will it just be skrim tape then plaster as normal?
Many thanks
Michelle

Answer
Yes Michelle scrim tape over and plaster - however if the gap is bigger then around 1mm - it can be good to first ensure plaster is pushed into this gap and flattened off before applying to the whole wall.
