“The TapeBuddy works as advertised. Embedding drywall tape with the precise amount of joint compound without any voids is essential to a quality taping job. The Tape Buddy applies the right amount of compound to the back of the tape. All you have to do is place the tape and press into place with a taping knife.

The most important part of a drywall finishing job is embedding the joint tape. For non-pros this can be difficult and is often done poorly. Try using the TapeBuddy and eliminate this problem.
The TapeBuddy is a very simple tool. It is simple to use and it simply works. A great tool to use when Fire-Taping“ -Myron Ferguson
