General Installation Guidelines

Phillips gripSTIK

vinyl Inside Corner Adjustable beads can be installed using a variety of methods. The methods listed

below are guidelines. Phillips recommends you test which method works best for you. Some vinyl products require more

detailed installation instructions than are listed here.

Method 1: Stapling

1. For Inside Corner Adjustable, drywall does not need to be set back.

2. For special lengths, cut the bead to length and dry fit.

a) Prevent overlap of the mud flanges by snipping back.

b) Dry fit the bead.

3. Staple each mud flange every 6-10” with 1/2" crown staples.

4. No primer is needed. Finish as usual.

5. For cold weather winter applications, please refer to the installation recommendations in the Gypsum Association

GA-220-06 of 40°F or warmer.

Method 2: Spray Adhesive (gripSTIK

Spray Adhesive Recommended)

1. Follow steps 1 and 2 above.

2. Put a coat of spray adhesive on the back of the bead and then on the drywall.

a) Immediately apply bead to drywall and position in place.

b) If the adhesive dries too long, it will be hard to reposition.

c) At some point the adhesive will lose tackiness and will not bond. If this happens, reapply adhesive to both

surfaces.

3. The rate at which the adhesive dries varies depending on heat and humidity. Test in your conditions.

4. Use handle of your taping knife or installation tool to apply pressure along both mud flanges. Bond strength is greatly

enhanced with this crucial step.

5. Staple mud flanges to assist bonding between bead and wallboard with 1/2" crown staples.

6. Pressure the mud flanges again (see step 4).

7. No primer is needed. Finish as usual.

8. For cold weather winter applications, please refer to the installation recommendations in the Gypsum Association

GA-220-06 of 50°F or warmer.
