ClarkDietrich PERFECT-90 100' x 2-1/16" (box of 12)

Product Description

Strait-Flex Perfect-90º™ delivers impeccably clean and crisp corners without any risk of damage from taping knives. Perfect-90º offers double the speed and strength compared to standard paper or mesh tapes. It requires no additional compound over the finished surface. The tape's innovative diamond-punched design on the outer edge provides superior bonding and faster drying, with no rippling or blistering issues. Installation: 1- Fold Perfect-90º along the center crease with the printed sides facing each other. For intersecting corners, trim the ends at 45º angles. For inside corners, fold the tape slightly less than the desired angle with the printed side facing outward. 2- Using a 5” or 6” taping knife, apply a smooth, generous coat of compound to the corner. 3- Press Perfect-90º into the wet compound, adjusting as needed to ensure a straight alignment. 4- With the taping knife, firmly wipe down the tape, applying slightly more pressure along the outer edges. Allow it to dry completely, which may take several hours or overnight. 5- Apply the final coat of compound exclusively to the perforated edge. No compound is necessary over the tape's finished area, as it's pre-treated for paint adhesion. Let this dry thoroughly, for several hours or overnight. 6- Lightly sand the surface with 120 grit sandpaper. Unlike traditional paper or mesh tapes, Perfect-90º won't fuzz up when sanded.
