        "text": "To properly tape seams on mobile home wallboards, technicians remove the existing plastic batten strips, clean off factory adhesive, and secure any loose panel edges directly into the studs. The seams must be taped using fiberglass mesh or paper tape and coated with setting-type joint compound, which resists shifting better than standard premixed mud. After multiple thin coats are feathered out and sanded smooth, the wall is primed before texture or paint. Skipping proper surface prep or failing to fasten loose boards will cause the finished joint to crack within months.",
