Flexible Metall Ecke Band

1,It is made of paper joint tape bonded to two corrosion redsistant metal strips and an easy-to-apply polymer reinforcement that eliminates the need to finish drywall corners with metal corner bead.Traditional corner bead is difficult to install,tends to crack and is only available in standard lengths. 2,This flexible corner tape is easy to use like all drywall products and it has more advantages.You could cut to optional length to reduce waste and cost.It can be used on old and new drywall and plaster as well as all inside and outside corners. 3,Flexible Metal Corner Tape is ideal for use in drywall applications:internal or external corners which are 90 degrees or not.Such as archways, curves, vaulted ceilings,coffered ceilings,bay windows. 4,High flexibility,replace traditional paper metal flex tape and metal corner bead.Professionals use it for all off angles.Easier and faster installation reduces labor costs. How to use: 1.Cut flexible metal corner tape into one of the two strips to score and bend with a knife.The distance between your cuts will depend on how tight a radius you want to achieve.Apply generous coat of joint compound to a depth of 1/8",covering both sides of the corner the same time.With the metal facing the wall,fold tape at the center margin and press firmly into the compound. 2.Once the corner is embedded,remove excess compound with taping knife.After the first coat dries,sand lightly,apply finish coat and feather edges two inches beyond edges of the first coat.If needed apply a second coat 6"-10" wide on each side of corner.Where dry,sand lightly if needed.The wide,galvanized steel strips act as a guide to ensure straight,reinforced angles for both "inside" and "outside" corner needs.
