Metal corner tape

Metal corner tape

Metal corner tape is made up of a strong kraft paper tape reinforced by two parallel corrosion resistant metal or plastic strips and is the ideal solution when dry lining and plastering archways, curved and irregular inside and outside corners, and unusual angles.

Specification:
50mm x 7.6m, 50mm x 30m, 50mm x 30.5m

Available in both galvanized steel and aluminum materials.

 

Packaging:

customized individual box, 10 rolls/carton.


Storage:
The metal corner tape should always be stored in closed carton at normal room temperatures in an enclosed dry area.

 
Instructions:

1. Cut metal corner tape into one of the two strips with a knife to score and bend. 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. When 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.

 

Caution:
Apply the metal corner tape only at the recommended temperatures of joint compounds.
