COMPOSITE ARCH STICK

BASIC INSTALLATION GUIDELINES

#AS10

PREPARATION

Run your taping knife over the corner area and

remove any high spots. Measure entire curved

application. Using ARCH-STICK as a ruler, cut

to length plus 1 inch.

Remove tear strip by folding along perfora-

tions (1) and pulling (2). For a perfect

straight-to-curve transition, leave tear strip

intact in straight areas. When transitions occur

between curved and straight areas,

ARCH-STICK’s profile matches most conven-

tional corner beads.

INSTALLATION

(3) With a 4" or 5" taping knife, apply a

smooth, liberal coat of compound to corner.

(4) Press ARCH-STICK firmly into compound

to form a uniform curve.

(5) Where material meets, or for irregular

framing, use thumb tacks, small nails, or

paper tape to hold Arch-Stick in place to

ensure a smooth arch.

(6) Wipe down tight and smooth with a 4" or

5" taping knife. Let dry for several hours or

overnight.

(7) For high volume applications, use BSR-300

Rolling Tool for fast installation and squaring

up corner beads

FILL COAT

Use a taping knife or sanding block to remove

any high spots to create a flat, level surface.

(8) Apply a fill coat of compound feathering

the compound beyond the previous coat. Fill

coat can be applied immediately after STEP

TWO, if desired.) Lightweight compound used

in this step makes sanding much easier. Let

dry for several hours or overnight.

FINISH COAT

(9) Apply finish coat. Let dry for several hours

or overnight.

SANDING

(10) Sand lightly with 150 grit sandpaper.

ARCH-STICK will not fuzz-up like other

paper-faced arched products.
