Description

Strait-Flex Gold High-Performance Drywall Corner Bead -100' Roll.

Strait-Flex Gold is a mud-on, paper-faced composite corner bead that adjusts to any angle to create perfect inside and outside 90° and off-angle corners. The composite structural backing provides strength for durability and impact resistance. The heavy-weight, diamond punched paper provides maximum adhesion for an even lay-down of the paper edge and reduced edge cracking. Strait-Flex Gold is packaged in 100 ft. rolls that can be cut to the desired length in the field to minimize scrap loss.

Memory-free hinge produces straight corners and perfect angles
Smooth nose provides a square, low profile
Composite-fiber structural backing provides strength and embeds into compound to provide a superior bond to the drywall surface
Diamond-punched paper edging provides maximum adhesion – no cracks, no call backs
Paper surface is pretreated to accept paint, finishing compound is not required over the laminated area – uses the half the compound vs. standard corner bead
Paper will not fuzz-up during finish sanding
Installs with all-purpose joint compound

Applications:

Inside and outside 90° and off-angle corners
Inside and outside corners where common gaps in drywall are present
Inside 90° corners where a large fill or straightening is required, no back filling needed
Great for vaulted, coffered and tray ceilings, bay windows

PREPARATION
Run your taping knife over the surface of the drywall and remove any
high spots. If the knife hits a screw head, set the screw a little
deeper. Use a drywall rasp to clean up edges, if needed.
Measure wall height and subtract 1/2?. Measure and cut Original using a scissors or utility knife.
(A) Fold Original in half at center crease with print size facing
each other. For outside corners, fold more than the desired angle with
print side facing wall. For inside corners, fold less than desired angle
with print side facing out.
(B) Most professionals prefer to cut the ends of Original at a 45o angle.
Properly mix all-purpose compound per manufacturer?s directions. If
applying Original over painted surfaces, add Strait-Flex?s Super-Bond or
latex paint to enhance bondability.
STEP ONE
(C) With a 4?or 5? taping knife, apply a smooth, liberal coat of compound to corner.
(D) Press Original into the wet compound. Adjust if necessary to create a straight line.
(E) Wipe down tight with taping knife using a little additional pressure on the outer edges of Original.
(F) Immediately apply a light skim coat of compound over surface of Original. Wipe down tight and smooth.
Let dry completely over several hours or overnight.
STEP TWO
Use taping knife to detect and remove any high spots or dried clumps of compound.
(G) With a 6?or 8? taping knife, apply your final coat of compound
feathering the compound beyond previous coat. For inside corners, a very
light coat of compound is all that?s needed. Lightweight compound used
in this step makes sanding much easier.
Let dry completely over several hours or overnight.
STEP THREE
(H) Sand lightly with 120 grit sandpaper. Original will not fuzz-up like paper or mesh tapes.
HELPFUL HINTS
Use a stainless steel mud pan to carry and re-mix compound as you
work. Keeping your compound smooth and free of air pockets and dried
clumps of compound, will deliver a smooth finish.
Have a five gallon bucket of water with a durable sponge handy for cleaning tools.
When painting, apply a base coat of drywall primer to seal the compound and assure an even paint finish.
