Taping your drywall refers to smoothening any joints (where two panels meet) using plaster mix. Also known as “mud,” in the drywall world, taping is the application of plaster mix to your drywall. This final step in the drywall installation process will make the walls smoother and cleaner-edged. Mix your mud or use a pre-mixed plaster to create a peanut butter-like texture. You should not have any lumps. You can use a sharp, clean metal spackle knife or a small amount of mud to scoop up any traces between panels. Use the spackle knife to smooth out any mud accumulated at the seams. Next, measure your drywall tape and cut it into strips just above your seam lines. To remove excess moisture, you can submerge the tape in water before applying it. Apply the tape to the seams by gently rubbing your spackle knife. You should not have any air pockets or lumps. Allow the mud to dry, and then place your drywall panels. To avoid future problems, it is best to have all electrical outlets outlined and cut.
