Ensure that the panel surface is dry and free of sawdust
and dirt prior to taping.
Ensure that the tape is centered over the seam within
+/- 1/2" to provide adequate coverage
Wherever tape splices occur at a horizontal or vertical
seam, create an overlapping splice of at least 3".
At T-joints, tape pieces should overlap by at least 1".
Tape over any areas of the panel that are damaged
