DIRECTIONS
Cut Strait-Flex’s ORIGINAL to desired length and trim ends at 45-degree angles. Fold ORIGINAL
in half at center crease with print size facing each other. For outside corners, fold more than
the desired angle with print side facing wall. For inside corners, fold less than desired angle with
print side facing out.
Apply all-purpose compound to corner. Press ORIGINAL into the wet compound, adjust to create
a straight line, and wipe down with a taping knife. A second coat can be applied immediately. Let
dry completely over several hours or overnight.
With a 6”or 8” taping knife, apply your final coat of compound feathering the compound
beyond previous coat. For inside corners, a very light coat of compound is all that’s needed. Let
dry completely over several hours or overnight.
Sand lightly with 120 grit sandpaper. ORIGINAL will not fuzz-up like paper or mesh tapes.
