fiberglass mesh is a neatly woven

crisscross pattern of fiberglass thread

that is used to create new products such

as tape and filters when it is used as a

filter it is not uncommon for the

manufacturer to spray a PVC coating to

make it stronger and last longer the

most common place to find fiberglass

missions and tape products drywall

finishers use the mesh frequently in

fact it is common to replace the paper

tape used to float the joint between two

pieces of drywall the mesh that drywall

finishers use comes on a roll just like

paper drywall tape the added benefit for

the drywall finisher is to roll out the

mesh over a great distance before having

to apply the first coat of joint

compound not only does it help them in

this manner but it also causes a

stronger bond between the joint compound

the tape and the wall drywall finishers

also use this tape to patch holes

the most common hole in the drywall

generally occurs where a doorknob has

hit a wall too many times if it is only

slightly damaged a couple of short

pieces of the tape will be formed into a

square and placed over the hole a joint

compound will then be apply directly to

it if the hole is too large to patch

with fiberglass mesh alone a piece of

metal flashing can be added behind the

tape before applying joint compound

construction work is not the only use

for fiberglass mesh as a filtering

system alkali resistant fiberglass mesh

works really well as the water flows

through it the mesh catches even the

smallest impurities in addition to this

use it can also be used as a mosquito

net

finally fiberglass mesh is sometimes

woven into protective clothing used by

those who work with dangerous chemicals

or firefighters

tightly woven messes put together and

shaped into jackets the firemen wear

when they are battling a blaze it

protects them from any fire that my big

knives are closing while fighting a fire

fiberglass mesh can also be used in mold

making and as protection against

corrosive
