Centerflex - Original tape

ORIGINAL tape is perfect for joining gypsum-cardboard panels in internal corners and external corners. The tape straightens, straightens and stiffens complicated internal corners, external corners of the walls and the ceiling, difficult to move out, in angles of any degree of opening. ORIGINAL is used in places exposed to moisture, where the paper tape could be damaged, e.g. near bathtubs and showers in.

Advantages

• Extremely durable and resistant to cracking.
• Easy and quick to install.
• It has a unique structure that creates rigid and smooth surfaces.
• Provides straight corner lines in the inside and corner in the outside.
• Resistant to water and rust.
• Efficient because it allows you to use 100% material.
• Many times stronger than ordinary paper tape.
• It does not require soaking in water.
• It allows you to cover any paint.
• It does not require the use of additional tools, such as paper clips or mounting tapes.
• Convenient to use, transport and store thanks to winding on a roll.

Method of use

1. Cut the tape to the correct length and cut the end of the sockets at an angle of 45 degrees.
2. Fold the tape along the inscriptions inwards, and then apply the side without the inscription to the wall in the inner corners, apply the inscriptions to the wall at the outer corners.
3. For gluing, apply gypsum mass, then place the tape at its destination, pressing it against the outer corner or inner corner.
4. Adjust the tape so as to create a straight horn line on the crease.
5. Remove excess gypsum with a spatula, leaving no bubble in the air under the tape.
6. Cover the glued tape with a thin layer of gypsum, about 1 mm thick, aligning with the wall, let it dry.
7. In the case of a corner in the interior - do not fill the corner with gypsum mass after installing the tape. This will keep the horny line straight.
8. If necessary, apply the gypsum mass again and let it dry.
9. Identify inequality with sandpaper, graded at least 180.
10. Sand the inside of the tape with the edge of the bent sandpaper.

Additional tips

1. Use ready-made gypsum masses and gypsum powders. Carefully mix them with water to not too thick consistency, so that there are no lumps.
2. Adjust the right amount of gypsum to ensure gluing and filling and free squeezing of excess mass.
3. Avoid air bubbles.
4. In inner corners - bend the tape wider than the angle of opening the corner requires.
5. This will make the tape stick better to the wall.
   In the outer corners - use the opposite method and bend the tape to a smaller angle.
