Shoutout to the guy who swore by mesh tape over paper

I spent 12 years using paper tape on every joint (even corners, which was dumb) because that's how my old boss taught me in Phoenix. Last week I finally tried fibafuse mesh on a ceiling repair after a customer insisted on it, and I'll be honest - it didn't crack or bubble at all. Has anyone else switched from paper to mesh and found it worth the extra cost?

Wait, you did corners with paper tape for 12 years? Dude, that had to be a nightmare getting those to lay flat without bubbling up.

12 years of fighting with paper tape corners... my sympathies, that's a whole lot of patience right there.
