Finishing Wall Seams
Posted: Fri Feb 18, 2022 2:57 pm
Hello all,
I am working on a bathroom in a 1996 dbl wide. I removed the trim boards from the seams and was going to mud, and tape them.
If I put a level across the seam, it is much taller than the rest of the wall. Approx. 1/4" at 12"-16" away from the seam on both sides in places.
The walls are the standard 3/8" vinyl wall paper junk.
I am thinking at this point, that I just need to tear them out and put up real sheet rock. Either that, or float the mud out 16" from the seam.
I appreciate any suggestions that you may have. Thank you.
Steve
