Product Information
Full details
The Walther Strong Drylining HD Scrim is an essential tool for professional plasterers and dryliners who require a reliable solution for joint reinforcement and crack prevention. This heavy-duty fiberglass mesh tape offers exceptional adhesion across diverse temperature environments, making it ideal for large-scale construction sites and intricate restoration projects alike. While its 180m length provides excellent value and fewer roll changes, users should ensure the surface is clean and dry prior to application to maximize the effectiveness of the high-tack adhesive system.

Troubleshooting
Tape failing to stick to the board
Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from joint compound dust before application.
Tape tearing during application
Check your tape dispenser tension settings; the tension may be too high for the fiberglass mesh.
Bubbles forming under the mesh
Apply consistent pressure from the center of the tape outward to ensure total contact with the board.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best results, ensure your plasterboard joints are flush and free from dust, debris, or moisture before application. When using the tape manually, press the mesh firmly into the board to activate the adhesive. If using a tape gun, check the tension settings to ensure the tape rolls out smoothly without tearing. Always store your rolls in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight; although the adhesive is designed for various climates, extreme moisture during storage can degrade the backing over time. When not in use, keep the roll wrapped or in its original packaging to prevent dust buildup on the edges.
