Yes, knowledge is key...with anything and everything.
We pre-fill all joints with hot mud. Then start the taping process. This fills the voids between the sheets with a hard material. Really helps not get cracks later on. With that said, sometimes you have an area in the structure that just wants to move a tad, and it will always crack. I have one in my own house! Repaired it to the extreme and the next season it cracked! Expansion joints are good in these areas. We use them on plaster jobs at door headers, ect.

Shop looks great!
