As above I have a small room I'm plasterboarding walls & ceiling; which is a soundproof affair hanging off resilient bars.

I want to try how the Americans do it paper tape and mud then sand and paint finish no wet plastering I suspect most new builds in the UK are also starting to use this method.

The boards are tapered edges, nigh on all USA guys seem to use paper tape rather than scrim tape on the joints.

Thoughts?
