Apply Paper Tape

What happens here

Take your roll of paper drywall tape. Identify the pre-creased line down the center of the tape. This crease should be positioned to go directly into the joint, against the wall. Carefully align the paper tape over the wet drywall joint compound, ensuring it covers the seam evenly. Gently press it onto the mud with your hands to secure it in place.
