scarrell Newbie   Join Date: Mar 2006 Posts: 13	Mesh drywall tape...2 questions Yellow vs. white mesh tape. What's the difference? And I've heard mesh tape isn't strong enough for inside corners, but I've heard others who use it. Any secrets on how to make it work ok? Thanks.

(or at least if there's a difference I've never noticed it or been told about it) 2. I've never used anything but mesh on inside corners and never had any problems. Apply just like you would paper tape.
