andyscotland Posted Thursday at 07:48 Posted Thursday at 07:48 Hey, I am getting towards finishing (in one room at least 🤣).  I have fermcaell on two external walls (part of a fire resistant buildup) and plasterboard on two internal walls and the ceiling.  I'm planning to skim the plasterboard.  Wondering what's the best way to fill & join the joints between the fermcaell and the PB.  Should I use fermcaell joint filler and paper tape?  Or normal joint filler (Easifill/Knauf/etc) and paper tape?  Or...?  I understand the fermcaell Fine Surface Treatment is very thin - if I use tape on the joints will it be able to cover/hide it? Or would I be better off skimming the fermcaell as well to get a neat finish?  Questions questions! 🤣  Thanks!
nod Posted Thursday at 08:33 Posted Thursday at 08:33 Tape all of it with fibre tape Paper tends to lift with plaster finish Use gypsum NOIt filler tgen joint cement Easifil is no good for tapingÂ
