Product Description
Strait-Flex Mid-Flex is a multipurpose muddable, paper-faced composite corner bead designed to adjust to any angle, providing flawless inside and outside 90°, and off-angle corners. Featuring a durable composite structural backing, Mid-Flex offers exceptional strength and impact resistance. The heavyweight, diamond-punched paper provides superior adhesion, resulting in a smooth paper edge and reduced edge cracking. Strait-Flex Mid-Flex is available in 100 ft. rolls that can be easily cut to the required length on-site, minimizing waste. Installation: 1- Ensure the corner surfaces are clean and smooth. Measure the corner and subtract 1/2”. 2- For accurate measuring and minimal waste, feed the roll of Strait-Flex® Mid-Flex through the slot on top of the box. Hook the tape measure on the hole below. 3- Fold Mid-Flex in half with the print side facing out. For outside corners, fold more than the desired angle. For inside corners, fold less than the desired angle. Many professionals prefer to cut the ends of Mid-Flex at a 45º angle. 4- Apply a liberal coat of all-purpose joint compound to both sides of the corner with a 4” or 5” taping knife. 5- Press Mid-Flex into the wet compound. Adjust if necessary to create a straight line. 6- Wipe down tightly with a taping knife, applying additional pressure on the outer edges. Allow to dry completely over several hours or overnight. 7- Apply a light skim coat of compound to the outer edges of Mid-Flex with a 4” or 5” taping knife. No compound is needed over the laminated area of Mid-Flex. Wipe down tight and smooth. Allow to dry completely over several hours or overnight. 8- Apply the final coat of joint compound with a 6” or 8” taping knife, feathering the compound beyond the previous coat. Use a very light coat of compound, preferably a lightweight type for easier sanding. Allow to dry completely over several hours or overnight. 9- Sand lightly with 120 grit sandpaper. Mid-Flex will not fuzz-up like conventional paper or mesh tapes.
