A no-see-um is an extremely tiny insect that typically inhabits low, marshy coastal areas such as Florida, as well as mountainous and wooded areas. They often bite leaving red swollen marks on humans.
You used to carry a screen called “No-See-Um.” Do you still carry it?
Yes. We replaced “No-See-Um” screen with “Small Insect.” We made this name change because Small Insect screen not only blocks no-see-ums from entering a home or patio, but other tiny, hard to see insects as well.

What is the drying time needed for the joint compound in the complete wall repair kit?
Most repairs take 2 to 3 coats of compound to complete. The first coat embeds the tape or repair patch, the second coats blends and fills around the repaired area, and the finish coat is just a thin coat that completes the blending in of the repair. The compound in the repair kit is an air drying compound so it will typically take about 24 hours to dry. Thinner or thicker coats of compound drying times will differ. Just a side note: make sure the compound is completely dry before decorating. Always follow the joint compound manffacturer's instructions for recommended drying times.
What is the best way to use FibaTape when repairing cracks in plaster and is one particular version of FibaTape preferred?
Just sticking FibaTape over the crack and concealing with joint compound may work, but most likely the crack will return to some degree. Creating a V groove along the crack will allow you to actually fill in the crack and repair deep into the crack. The extreme cracks should be covered with Extra Strength FibaTape. The tape can be applied over the V groove and when compound is applied make sure to apply enough pressure with the taping knife to force compound through the tape filling the V groove. You could also prefill with compound and cover with the tape. Perfect Finish™ FibaTape is also good for the repairs because it is quite strong and is also the thinnest product, making less of a bump for an easier to conceal repair.
