Tape and joint my ceiling before plastering?

Hi all, Getting mixed advice on the Internet so want some clarification if possible please. I've dropped my ceilings and reboarded woth 12.5mm plasterboard. Im planning on using my loft for storage and wondering if I need to tape and joint the boards first and then plaster? Will this make the boards stronger and less likely to crack with slight movement? Online it shows either tape and joint OR plastering, not both? Thanks in advance guys! submitted by /u/throwawaycall12345 [link] [comments]
