Wetting the tape before you embed it in the joint compound can help eliminate troublesome bubbles that show up after the joint dries. Keep a bucket of water nearby and quickly run each piece of tape through it before applying the tape to the wall. Beatunes license key.

Hi DIY, My dad had a moment and tore a bunch of his apartment walls off. It's a long story. I'm going to help him fix it up over the holidays. He's patched it up with drywalls (the original walls were plaster lathe) but there remains some large gaps between the sheets. It's time to mud it up now, but I'm not sure how to approach the large gaps similar to this.
Fritz is FAR more user friendly for this sort of thing. Chessmaster 10th edition cd3 positive t. I disagree that Chessmaster is only good at full strength. Its engine is rated at over 2700, so unless you're a super grandmaster I'd say the lower levels might also challenge you a bit.
All in all, the gaps range from a quarter inch to about 5/8ths. Behind the sheets would be lathe. What mud would be best for this, I've heard that certain kinds in such great quantities would shrink and leave gaps. Thanks alot • • • • •. For an inside corner like the one in the picture I would get a plastic inside corner bead. Trying to mud that without any type of guide is going to be a royal pain and use 10x as much product (and drying time) as what is really needed.
Same for all of your outside corners - plastic or metal corner beads. The rest of the gaps between boards can be filled - I would use a quick setting type of drywall compound (no less than 45 minutes - and only mix up as much as you'll use in 30 minutes) to fill the large gaps, then use regular drywall tape (I am not a fan of the meshes) with a regular drywall compound to finish it off. I would estimate that you will have at least 5 coats of stuff on this wall before it will look smooth. Oh - and a 1000w light to shine up the wall is a must IMO - you will be able to see every imperfection and repair it, so that when you get regular lighting into the room it will look perfect.
