Installation
The Shower Bead comes in 2 sizes to fit ½" or / " drywall. It also has
a pre-scored mark on the support leg. This is to allow for a better fit
when the shower/bath unit has a thick installation flange. Snip a
short piece of shower bead and lay it on the wall. If the Shower Bead
does not lay flat, then tear off the support leg as shown in .
Dry fit and cut the Shower Bead to length. Spray the bead with Trim-
Tex 847 Spray Adhesive. Immediately apply to the drywall. Once in
position, press the legs into place using the Trim-Tex installation tool
or handle of your taping knife. Staple the mud leg every 6"-8" with ½"
long divergent staples. Finish the installation by mudding and
sanding the bead.
Caulking: To prevent moisture intrusion, caulk the gap between the
Shower Bead and the shower/bath unit.Foradditionalprotection,lay
a bead of caulk onto the shower/tub flange and embed the support
leg of the Shower Bead in it as shown in .

How It Works
The Trim-Tex Shower Bead is designed to quickly and easily finish
drywall terminating to shower/bath enclosures. Shower Bead uses
less drywall compound than filling the gap while the tear away strip
protects the shower/tub flange from mud, making clean up a breeze.
The Shower Bead features an extra long mud leg allowing you to
simply staple the shower bead to the drywall.
