How to Miter an Inside Corner
For an inside 90º miter, snip a “V”
notch into the tear off strip. Next, flip the bead over and snip the
mud leg all the way though the mud
bump and into the back of the gasket. Make sure the front of the gasket is not
snipped and bend the bead in to
ensure it forms a nice clean inside
corner.
How to Miter an Outside Corner
For an outside 90º miter, snip the mud
leg all the way through the mud bump
and the tear off strip. Do not snip the
gasket. Next, flip the bead over and notch out
the “V” slightly going into the gasket. Bend your bead to see if the front of
the gasket forms a clean outside
corner.
