Self-adhesive fiberglass tape is an excellent option for cement board as it provides added reinforcement and helps prevent cracks from forming. The tape has a sticky side that adheres to the surface of the cement board, while the other side is covered with a fine, cross-hatched fiberglass mesh.
To use the tape, first, clean the surface of the cement board and remove any dust or debris. Then, cut the tape to the desired length and position it over the area, Mix more thin-set mortar and, using a drywall knife, cover the taped joints with a thin layer, much as you would do when mudding drywall joints. Tool the mortar with the knife so the tape is covered and the joints are flat and smooth. Allow the mortar to cure completely, following the manufacturer’s recommended drying time.
Once the tape is in place, smooth it out using a putty knife or trowel, making sure to remove any air bubbles or creases. You can then apply a second layer of mortar or joint compound over the tape, using a trowel to create a smooth finish.
Overall, self-adhesive fiberglass tape is an affordable and effective solution for reinforcing cement board and ensuring a sturdy and long-lasting finish.
