Strait-Flex® Gold

Flexible Corner Bead - Paper-Faced Composite

Strait-Flex Gold is a mud-on, paper-faced composite corner bead that adjusts to any angle to

create perfect inside and outside 90° and off-angle corners.The composite structural backing

provides strength for durability and impact resistance.The heavy-weight, diamond punched paper

provides maximum adhesion for an even lay-down of the paper edge and reduced edge cracking.

Strait-Flex Gold is packaged in 100 ft. rolls that can be cut to the desired length in the field to

minimize scrap loss.

• Memory-free hinge produces straight corners and perfect angles

• Smooth nose provides a square, low profile

• Composite-fiber structural backing provides strength and embeds into compound to provide a

superior bond to the drywall surface

• Diamond-punched paper edging provides maximum adhesion - no cracks, no call backs

• Paper surface is pretreated to accept paint, finishing compound is not required over the

laminated area - uses the half the compound vs. standard corner bead

• Paper will not fuzz-up during finish sanding

• Installs with all-purpose joint compound

Applications:

• Inside and outside 90° and off-angle corners

• Inside and outside corners where common gaps in drywall are present

• Inside 90° corners where a large fill or straightening is required, no back filling needed

• Great for vaulted, coffered and tray ceilings, bay windows

Installation:

Make sure the surfaces of the corner are clean and smooth. Measure corner and subtract 1/2". (1)

For accurate measuring of Strait-Flex® Gold and less waste, feed roll through slot on top of box.

Hook tape measure on the hole below. (2) Fold Gold 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 Gold at a 45º 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 Gold

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 Gold with a 4" or

5" taping knife. No compound is required over the laminated area of Gold. Wipe down tight and

smooth. Let dry completely over several hours or overnight. (9) Apply the final coat of joint

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. (10) Sand lightly with 120 grit

sandpaper. Gold will not fuzz-up like paper or mesh tapes.
