5 Unexpected Things About The Tapepro Mud Box Pro

Thinking about making a change from manual taping? You’ve probably read everything online about automatic tapers, but have you heard of the Tapepro Mud Box Pro? This automatic taper is the perfect fusion of a banjo and bazooka, and comes with its own unique features. In this article, we’ll explore 5 Unexpected Things About The Tapepro Mud Box Pro.

IT’S MADE FROM POLYCARBONATE

Polycarbonate is a clear thermoplastic polymer that is used for products such as eye glasses and bullet-proof windows. This material makes the Mud Box Pro lighter, stronger, and more durable than a plastic banjo.


IT WORKS WITH HOT MUD

Unlike a banjo or bazooka, the Mud Box Pro works with all chemical-setting compounds. It’s polycarbonate base is corrosion-resistant, preventing tool damage from working with drying agents. If you work with hot mud often, then this taper is for you!

A drywall finisher fills the Mud Box Pro by pouring joint compound straight from the bucket to the mud chamber. This shows how easily it is to fill the Mud Box Pro as opposed to a drywall bazooka which requires a mud pump and gooseneck attachment.

IT REQUIRES LESS MAINTENANCE

The Mud Box Pro does not require a mud pump which comes as an added expense when purchasing a bazooka. As shown above, you can simply fill it straight from the bucket. It also features less common wear parts which minimizes the time, money, and effort associated with routine maintenance and repairs.

A drywall finisher uses the Mud Box Pro to simultaneously apply joint compound and paper tape to a horizontal drywall joint. The result is a clean tape run with very little mess.

The Mud Box Pro features the same cutter & creaser wheel mechanism as a professional-grade bazooka. Its rear controls are located on the end of the handle for easy access. You can embed or cut tape without removing the automatic taper from the wall.
