CORNER TOOL HANDLE
1. Too much joint compound on one side
Tool needs to be centered in the angle to allow consistent pressure on each side.
Center the tool to the angle - not your body.
Corner finisher is worn - exchange for fresh tool at your local Ames® store location.
2. Tool drags and leaves marks
Debris in and around the corner finisher.
The corner finisher bisects the angle not your body (also known as tool operational positioning).
The bend on the handle helps you apply pressure to the center of the corner finisher, when your body is not
positioned to do so.
3. Excess or insufficient joint compound flow
The operator must ensure the proper amount of joint compound is dispensed by matching the speed of the
corner tool to the flow of material from the pump.
