Instructions
To properly use
the Chamfer Marker on Chamfer Bead
or Chamfer Stop, you will
need a sharp pencil and yellow aviation tin snips. Place the Miter Marker
on the bead as shown in Figure 1.
The Chamfer Marker comes with alignment edges to allow you to mark the
bead to fit any opening. The alignment edges are marked with an arrow.
First measure the opening inside corner to inside corner as shown in
Figure 2. Mark the dimension A on the piece. The 1st mark should be
at least 1” away from the edge to leave enough bead to be cut off.
See Figure 3.
To mark for a 90º corner, use the outside edges of the Chamfer
Marker. Slide the tool along the piece until the alignment edge, marked
with an arrow, lines up with the pencil mark. Now mark the bead with
a pencil. See Figure 4A. For a 135º off angle corner use the inside
openings of the tool. Slide the tool along the bead until the inner
alignment edge lines up with your pencil mark. Mark the bead with your
pencil. See Figure 4B.
Snip to the marks you have made and snip back the legs as shown in Figure
5. Do not completely cut away the pencil line or the parts may come
out too short. Everyone measures, marks and cuts differently so you
may have to practice on a few pieces. Ideally, you should have a 1/16”
gap that will need to be caulked. This will allow some wall settling
without causing hairline cracks in the compound. Use a paintable acrylic
caulk. Click on the following links for installation instuctions for
