How thick can I apply durabond 90

[ive]

Hi all.

I am wondering what maximum thickness is recommended for applying durabond 90 between coats?

I have read that too much will crack.

Thank you.

Any taping compound can crack if put on too thick but unless you are trying to build up an outside corner it would be hard to put it on thick enough to crack.

Durabond doesn't shrink much. I've put it on 3/8" thick patching a hole in a plaster wall before.

I have used the 90 min some but anymore I just buy the 45. Working time is still plenty

I have found that if I embed mesh, fillers tend to be less susceptible to cracking.

Durobond isn't likely to crack by being too thick.I've laid it is as thick as an inch I bet. just don't get it higher than you need as it's virtually impossible to sand

+1 Fiberglass tape isn't great near the surface, but I'll embed it near the bottom and easily fill in 1/2" over it.
