14:17, 5 January 2026 Jlebeau81 talk contribs created page Fire Taping (Created page with "Fire taping drywall is a basic level 1 finish where all drywall seams, corners, and penetrations are taped and sealed with joint compound (mud) to create a fire and smoke barrier, often in garages, mechanical rooms, or behind fireplaces, without the sanding and multiple coats needed for a painted finish. It slows fire spread by sealing gaps, meeting building codes for areas requiring fire separation, and can be done quickly with regular mud and paper tape or with special...")

The tear-off flange acts as a mask during mudding, and once the joint compound dries, the strip is peeled away, leaving a smooth, crisp line for painting.")
