Instructions

  • [ Installation ]

  • 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.
