Do I need to use a special adhesive with this tape?

Is this tape suitable for repairing large holes?
This tape is primarily for reinforcing joints. For larger holes, you may need to use a plasterboard patch or a larger backing material in conjunction with the tape.
Troubleshooting
Tape not adhering well
Ensure the plasterboard surface is clean, dry, and free of dust or grease. Press the tape firmly into place after application.
Cracks appearing after plastering
Verify that the tape was applied correctly over the entire joint and fully embedded in the first coat of plaster. Ensure adequate drying time between coats and avoid applying plaster in extreme temperatures.
Tape is visible through the plaster
Ensure sufficient coats of plaster have been applied to completely cover the tape and feather the edges smoothly. The texture of the plaster may need to be adjusted.
