INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Make sure the surfaces of the corner are clean and smooth, Measure corner and
subtract 1/2". (1) For accurate measuring of Strait-Flex® Wide-Flex and less waste,
feed roll through slot on top of box, Hook tape measure on the hole below. (2) Fold
Wide-Flex in half with the print side facing out. (3) For outside corners, fold more
than the desired angle. For inside corners, fold less than desired angle. (4) Most
professionals prefer to cut the ends of Wide-Flex at a 45° angle.
(5) Apply a liberal coat of all-purpose joint compound to both sides of the corner
with a 4" or 5" taping knife. (6) Press Wide-Flex into the wet compound. Adjust, if
necessary, to create a straight line. (7) Wipe down tight with taping knife using a
little additional pressure on the outer edges. Let dry completely over several hours
or overnight.
(8) Apply a light skim coat of compound to the outer edges of Wide-Flex with a 4"
or 5" taping knife. No compound is required over the laminated area of Wide-Flex.
Wipe down tight and smooth., Let dry completely over several hours or overnight.
(9) Apply the final coat ofjoint compound with a 6" or 8" taping knife. Feather the
compound beyond previous coat. A very light coat of compound is all that's needed.
Using lightweight compound in this step makes sanding easier. Let dry completely
over several hours or overnight.

mesh tapes.
