[* black] Cover the cut lines with strips of self-sticking mesh tape, overlapping the ends. Press lightly to help them stick—you might have to do one at a time if gravity starts working against you. Pic 1.
[* icon_note] If your mesh isn't the self-sticking kind, use the 3" putty knife to fill the gaps with joint compound and then lay tape along the top of each one. Then continue the process as follows.
-[* black] Continue working your way along each cut line, smoothing the joint compound along over the top of the mesh tape to cover it completely, both lengthwise and side to side. Pic 3.
[* icon_note] You may have to hold one end of the mesh in place occasionally, if it wants to start sliding along with the movements of your putty knife.
