Info
If
you’re looking to add a subtle detail to any wall, 1/4" X
1/4" Reveal is for you. Trim-Tex, the leading manufacturer of rigid
vinyl drywall accessories expands its line of Reveal Beads.
Shown in the picture to the left with 2 stripes, our new Reveal gives
you a sharp, crisp line along the drywall. You can run single, double,
triple or as many stripes as you desire.
The new Reveal finishes to approximately a 1/4" x 1/4" size
and installs as easily as any Trim-Tex product. It has enough flexibility
to be able to curve along a barrel ceiling. While it can be used for
commercial applications, the smaller scale of the new Reveal makes it
perfect for residential applications where a larger Reveal Bead would
seem overpowering.
1/4" X 1/4" Reveal is also designed to accommodate 1/4"
fiber optic cable. A great lighting look to home theaters. |

| Installation
Instructions
To ensure straightness,
snap a chalk line along the drywall to use as a guide for the 1/4"
x 1/4" reveal. Dry fit the bead for length. Snip back the bead
as shown to the left for 3 way intersections. For a four way intersection,
simply copy the detail on the other side.
Basic Method: Use a chalk line as a guide to install the bead to the
wall, stapling both mud legs every 6-10" with 1/2" long divergent
staples.
Superior Method: Liberally apply Trim-Tex 847 spray adhesive to the
back of the bead and then to the drywall. Immediately apply to the wall
using the chalk like as a guide. 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 mud legs every 6-10" with 1/2" long divergent
staples. To keep mud out of the center insert a soft 1/4" sash
cord into the center of the Reveal as shown above. Be sure not to leave
excessive mud buildup on the mud bumps. After final sanding, gently
remove the cord from the Reveal. Lightly sand along the edges of the
Reveal as needed. Caulk seams with a latex acrylic caulk at all intersections
and butt joints.
When painting be careful not to roller too much paint into the Reveal.
The center does not require primer and only needs a coat of finish paint
to be brushed in. |
