Hideaway Expansion

 

Installation Instructions

Directions: For long runs, it may be helpful to snap a chalk line as a guide for the Hideaway Expansion. Line up the edge of the bead with the chalk line to ensure a straight line.
Hideaway Expansion is an expansion joint and to function properly, it must be adhered to the wall. To install the bead, cut the bead to length. Spray the bead and then the drywall with Trim-Tex 847 Spray Adhesive. Immediately apply to the drywall. The spray must still be wet to allow you to easily position the bead. Once in position, press the legs into place using the Trim-Tex Installation Tool. This ensures the bead will properly bond to the wall. Go back a second time to press the legs into place once the adhesive has tacked up. Staple both legs every 6"-8" with 1/2" long divergent staples. Prior to final sanding, tear off the two tearaway strips.
