Hi everyone, I know from time to time as painters we have to do drywall repairs and sometimes even might need to repair a section of corner bead that has been cracked, damaged or dinged.
Some of you might turn that extra task down because it's just a pain to have a stick of corner bead always on hand without it getting damaged in your van or truck. I wanted to share a product that I found to be great for drywall corner bead repairs or replacement. This product also allows you when repairing a corner bead not to have to splice two pieces of corner bead together. You can simply go right over the old corner bead where it is damaged.
Ever heard of a corner bead that comes on a roll?
I hadn’t either and was pretty skeptical. It’s a composite corner bead that comes on a roll just like a paper drywall tape does. I got a chance to try it out on small remodeling project. I was pleasantly surprised by the way it performed.
On this remodeling project I needed to replace the old corner bead from a closet modification. The closet had already been taken apart by the homeowner that had just purchased this home. The plan was to make a computer/gaming area for their son where the closet used to be.
These folks plan on tearing that whole closet area out in a year or two when they expand their master bedroom into that whole room. So they just wanted it repaired for now. So I figured this would be a good time to experiment with the Strait Flex Uno-Bead that I had never used before.
I made this video my first time ever using it to show any hiccups or hang ups while trying it out.
My conclusion after trying Uno-Bead for the first time on this remodeling project. Is that whether you're a painting contractor, handyman or even a home improvement DIY'er. This product will be a fast and easy way to install corner bead on corner bead repairs and remodels.
Another benefit is Uno-Bead requires less joint compound than the traditional vinyl or metal corner beads. Which speeds up drying time as well. So you can save time, the amount of materials needed to repair or finish an outside drywall corner. All of this means you make more money while also getting a better and stronger end result.
I would definitely us this product again! :thumbup:
Thanks for watching and let me know what you think, Paul
