The invention further provides a method of finishing a joint between boards comprising (i) applying a joint tape of the invention
The invention is directed to a joint tape for finishing a joint between boards comprising a nonwoven substrate that does not swell substantially in the presence of water. The invention further provides a method of finishing a joint between boards comprising (i) applying a joint tape of the invention to a joint between boards by embedding the joint tape in a first coat of joint compound, (ii) applying a second coat of joint compound over the tape, wherein step (ii) is carried out before the joint tape and joint compound applied in step (i) have substantially dried, and optionally (iii) applying a third fill or finish coat of joint compound over the tape, wherein step (iii) is carried out before the joint tape and second coat have substantially dried.

1. A joint tape, comprising a nonwoven substrate comprising natural pulp fibers and one or both of at least about 30 wt. % or more synthetic polymeric fibers and less than about 50 wt. % but greater than 0 wt. % glass fibers, wherein the synthetic polymeric fibers are selected from the group consist
1. A joint tape, comprising a nonwoven substrate comprising natural pulp fibers and one or both of at least about 30 wt. % or more synthetic polymeric fibers and less than about 50 wt. % but greater than 0 wt. % glass fibers, wherein the synthetic polymeric fibers are selected from the group consisting of polyester, polyethylene, polypropylene, nylon, polyacetate, polyacrylic, polystyrene, polyvinyl acetate, rayon, polyvinylchloride, copolymers thereof and combinations thereof,wherein the natural pulp fibers are wood pulp fibers,wherein the nonwoven substrate comprises less than about 1 wt. % but greater than 0 wt. % natural pulp fibers,wherein the nonwoven substrate has a thickness of about 0.012 inches or less, and has as determined according to ASTM C474-05: a crosswise percent expansion of less than about 1.3%a lengthwise percent expansion of less than about 0.2%; anda tensile strength of at least about 15 pounds-force per inch in the cross direction, and wherein the joint tape has a fluid permeability measured as air resistance according to TAPPI T-460 of about 6 seconds or less. 2. The joint tape of claim 1, wherein the nonwoven substrate has as determined according to ASTM C474-05: (a) a crosswise percent expansion of less than about 0.8%(b) a lengthwise percent expansion of less than about 0.1%; and(c) a tensile strength of at least about 20 pounds-force per inch in the cross direction. 3. The joint tape of claim 1, wherein the fibers comprise both natural pulp fibers and glass fibers. 4. The joint tape of claim 1, wherein the fibers comprise polyester fibers. 5. The joint tape of claim 1, wherein the nonwoven substrate comprises a binder. 6. The joint tape of claim 5, wherein the binder is selected from the group consisting of polyvinyl alcohol, polyvinyl acetate, polyethylene vinyl acetate, polyvinylchloride, starch, cross-linked starch, and combinations thereof. 7. The joint tape of claim 5, wherein the binder is cross-linked starch or a combination of cross-linked starch and polyvinyl alcohol. 8. The joint tape of claim 1, wherein the nonwoven substrate is coated at least in part with a bond enhancing agent. 9. The joint tape of claim 8, wherein the bond enhancing agent is selected from the group consisting of polymers formed from vinyl acetate, vinyl alcohol, vinyl chloride, acrylic acid, ethyl vinyl acetate, and ethyl vinyl chloride, starch, and combinations thereof. 10. The joint tape of claim 8, wherein the bond enhancing agent is polyvinyl acetate, polyvinyl alcohol, or a combination thereof. 11. The joint tape of claim 1, further comprising an adhesive on at least a back side of the nonwoven substrate. 12. The joint tape of claim 1, wherein the nonwoven substrate comprises at least about 30 wt. % or more synthetic polymeric fibers based on the total weight of the nonwoven substrate. 13. The joint tape of claim 1, wherein the fibers comprise both natural pulp fibers and synthetic polymeric fibers. 14. The joint tape of claim 1, wherein the nonwoven substrate comprises a blend of natural pulp fibers, synthetic polymeric fibers, and glass fibers. 15. The joint tape of claim 1, wherein the nonwoven substrate comprises a blend of polyester fibers, glass fibers, and wood pulp fibers.
