Had a talk with a foreman on a job in Tucson that changed my whole view on pre-filling gaps
He told me he's seen tape blow out on three separate builds because guys skipped pre-fill on butted joints, and it hit me hard since I've been lazy about it for years. Anyone else ever had tape fail on a wide gap and wish you'd gone back to pre-fill?

Switched to mesh tape for wide gaps and never looked back.

Haven't seen tape blow out myself but sounds like that foreman might've been dealing with some real bad framing or mud work to begin with.
