Clinch-On Tool Application:
- Measure the wall height and subtract ½”. Measure and cut the corner bead using aviator snips. Dry fit to ensure accuracy.
- Position the bead on the corner. Place the clinch-on tool over the bead.
- Hit the tool with a rubber mallet to crimp the bead to the corner, repeating every 8” to 10” for optimum fastening.
- Using an 8” taping knife, apply the first coat of joint compound to the surface of the corner bead. The use of lightweight or setting-type compound in this step will reduce shrinkage and speed up drying time. Let this dry completely, for several hours or overnight.
- Using an 8” or 10” taping knife, apply a light finish coat of joint compound. Feather the compound beyond the previous coat. The use of all-purpose or topping compound will make for a more durable finish. Let this dry completely, for several hours or overnight.
- Sand lightly with 120 grit sandpaper.
