DESCRIPTION Edge-Tape, a paper-faced, laminated composite edge tape from Strait-Flex, creates clean, straight
edges, is twice as fast, and uses half the compound compared to tear-off bead. Edge-Tape is installed
by the finisher and not by the carpenter; and is installed with standard compounds. This 2” tape
finishes drywall edge for Commercial “Top Out” applications where drywall meets concrete ceilings,
suspended ceilings, window returns, fiberglass tubs, and sky lights. The tape’s outer edge features a
diamond punch pattern for a superior bond, faster drying, with no rippling or blistering. 100 foot rolls
reduce waste up to 20% compared to tear-off bead. Edge-Tape, comes in 100’ rolls.
