For joints weighing less than 65 pounds, hot melt adhesives can be utilized to construct a 1 1/4-inch joint made entirely of thermal plastic components. These adhesives maintain their bond at temperatures between -20°F and +165°F.
    Use of Joint TapeA water-resistant compound is mixed with two thicknesses of sulfate paper, with a total basis weight of no less than 80 lb [130 g/m2]. The paper is reinforced with double-stranded nylon fiber of no less than 210 denier, which forms a pattern with strands spaced no more than 1⁄2 in. [13 mm] apart.
