From what I understand if you contact Trim-Tex and they might be able to help you out if you need some. Unfortunately not enough of us used them and you can't blame Trim-Tex for not stocking it at suppliers.
Thank you. In my early days of using Trim-Tex beads I used a crown stapler with 1" crown staples. I found this to be a mistake. On new construction especially. If the new framing is not completely acclimated during install it can cause the bead to crack while it dries and shrinks over time. If the framing moves a bit so will the staple you put into the framing. I've had it happen only a handfful of times but that handful was a pain in the butt due to the work it took to fix it. Play safe and use 1/2" staples in my opinion.
I used that bead a few years ago on a Lottery house. Beauty bead , but, I had a bunch of drops on bulkhead in basement , making a nice 3 way was tough. Had to hold your tongue just right@@Mudslingr
Its a bummer they dont make thst cornerbead anymore. Hope they bring it back!

Nice work and nice to see you!
What size staples do you use?? (Some guys only go long enough into the drywall, some want to hit framing)

@@Mudslingr Great explanation, Thank you
I’ve talked to siders ;they turn the blade around to cut vinyl siding, you do the same?
Usually, but this particular blade is not cooperating. I need another.

@@willkeith4944 Not simple but very doable with a little TLC
What tape you usually use for taping?
Paper. Always
I think I'll pass on that stuff.
Why is that ?
