Abstract

A drywall tape including a fiber matrix having a first side and an opposing second side; a sandable coating on at least a portion of the first side of the fiber matrix, wherein the sandable coating is a first color; and, an adhesive element on at least a portion of the second side of the fiber matrix. Additionally, a system for preventing oversanding of surfaces including a matrix having a first side and an opposing second side; and, at least one sandable coating on at least a portion of the first side of the flexible matrix, wherein the sandable coating is a different color than the color of joint compound when dried.

Claims

1. A drywall tape comprising:

a fiber matrix having a first side and an opposing second side;

a sandable coating on at least a portion of the first side of the fiber matrix, wherein the sandable coating comprises a first color; and

,

an adhesive element on at least a portion of the second side of the fiber matrix

2. The drywall tape of claim 1, wherein the fiber matrix comprises a second color different than the first color of the sandable coating.

3. The drywall tape of claim 1, wherein the fiber matrix is arranged in a biaxial orientation, a triaxial orientation, a quadriaxial orientation or any combination thereof

4. The drywall tape of claim 1, wherein the fiber matrix comprises flexible properties.

5. The drywall tape of claim 1, wherein the fiber matrix includes a glass fiber, a carbon fiber, a basalt fiber, an aramid fiber, a polyolefin fiber, a synthetic polymer fiber, a plant-product-based fiber, an animal-product-based fiber, or any combinations thereof.

6. The drywall tape of claim 1, wherein the tape further includes a removable backing for covering the adhesive layer.

7. The drywall tape of claim 1, wherein the adhesive element is a pressure sensitive adhesive.

8. The drywall tape of claim 1, wherein the sandable coating comprises properties such that it may be removed using sandpaper.

11. The drywall tape of claim 1, wherein the fiber matrix is arranged in a biaxial orientation, a triaxial orientation, a quadriaxial orientation or any combination thereof.

9. A drywall repair patch comprising:

a fiber matrix having a first side and an opposing second side;

a sandable coating on at least a portion of the first side of the fiber matrix, wherein the sandable coating comprises a first layer having a first color and a second layer having a second color; and

,

an adhesive element on at least a portion of the second side of the fiber matrix.

10. The drywall repair patch of claim 9, wherein at least a substantial portion of the second layer is outwardly situated relative to the first layer.

12. The drywall tape of claim 9, wherein the fiber matrix comprises flexible properties.

13. The drywall tape of claim 9, wherein the fiber matrix dudes a glass fiber, a carbon fiber, a basalt fiber, an aramid fiber, a polyolefin fiber, a synthetic polymer fiber, a plant-product-based fiber, an animal-product-based fiber, or any combinations thereof.

14. The drywall tape of claim 9, wherein the tape further includes a removable backing for covering the adhesive layer.

15. The drywall tape of claim 9, wherein the adhesive element is a pressure sensitive adhesive.

16. The drywall tape of claim 9, wherein the sandable coating comprises properties such that the first and second layers may be removed using sandpaper.

17. A system for preventing oversanding of surfaces comprising:

a body having a first side and an opposing second side; and

at least one sandable coating on at least a portion of the first side of the body, wherein the sandable coating comprises at least a first color different than the color of dried joint compound.

18. The system of claim 17, wherein the system comprises an adhesive element on at least a portion of the second side of the body.

19. The system of claim 17, wherein the sandable coating comprises a first and a second layer, wherein at least a substantial portion of the second layer is outwardly situated relative to the first layer, and wherein the second layer comprises a second color that is different than the first color and the color of dried joint compound.
