Troubleshooting
Tape is not sticking to the board
Ensure the board surface is free from dust, debris, or moisture; wipe with a clean cloth before application.
Air bubbles forming under the tape
Apply the tape with firm, consistent pressure from the center moving outwards to ensure full contact with the board.
Edge lifting after application
Check that the plasterboard edges are not loose; use a light sanding to create a flatter surface if the board is heavily textured.
