10 plus years ago my Dad asked me to come down to Utila Honduras to finish the drywall in the first floor of his house. His Contractor had finished upstairs about 85% before passing away on his property (he was purposely NOT taking his meds because he was in his 50s and didn't feel like he needed them). Metal corner bead wasn't available on the island so I started doing my research online. I found Straight Flex products and took them down in my luggage. I used them for both inside and outside corners. Fast forward a year or three years later...they had a decent earthquake. My Dad told me he had multiple cracks upstairs (including in his tiled shower) but NONE where I did the work. That sold me on their products, even with my limited experience.
Thank you for making a difference in trying to help out others. Your very much appreciated. Wished you lived here in Las Vegas. I would hire you to do my home. I find it amazing you would receive a negative review. I guess no one thought about Putting a piece of tape or paper over it. Lol. Anyways, Keep those videos coming. I'm a loyal fan. :)
William Kacensky One thing I found with RUclips is there is no way to please everyone. And the thumbs down on a RUclips channel, help us just as much as a thumbs up, LOL. But I still try and do the best job I can to teach others, while still promoting my channel at the same time.
Great video. Big stick is all i used now for the past year. I used to only use paper face metal bead for years but it always seamed to bow and you couldnt coat it right away like the big stick. Straightflex makes amazing products. Keep making more vids like this!
Excellent work. I like how you blended the texture on the new work to the old. I hired a drywall contractor to do the same thing and they did a pretty good job, but if I look close enough I can see where the old meets the new texture. It's light to medium knock down, and I understand knock down is one of the most difficult to blend and match. I think you mentioned, at the end of this video, that you'll do one on how to blend the texture to the old and I'm looking forward to it.
I'm now going to teach that as a course because there's a lot to blending textures. It's not ready yet but it will come available on my drywall academy at drywallacademycom
I flip a house once every 5-7 years doing a lot of work on each house. Over the years I've used steel, then the vinyl. Nailing those on...really difficult to get them to lay right because of the nails. Doable though. Current flip I tried Big Stick and the cheaper metal with paper. I bought Big Stick and then bought metal/paper because it was 1/3th the price and used it for the whole remodel (15 sticks) and I liked it. I used Big stick on one and it was fine too. The Big Stick is wider so the thinking is it can cover a crappy corner. I pre-fill really crappy corners with setting mud and sand to make a very good corner. So I don't get the advantage of covering a crap corner in one go. But a sort of crap corner can be covered in one go if careful.
I started to use strait flex for a while now love it. 🙂 I like it a lot better than the metal flex tape that I've used in the past.also the paper metal corners not a fan.Glad to see more options. Keep.up the great work.
When you glue on corner beads don’t use the spray can glue, very weak adhesion, better for arts and craft work. Use canned (liquid) contact cement and press down the contact edges with the flat face of your hammer. Edit: Although, mud sticking to the bead is something else.
keep it really simple and let them figure it out, seems alot of tutorials try to get people to professional level without any experience.....not gonna happen, you will get frustrated and be slow....along wih making a huge mess until you get the feel love tape on bead, its not fastened to the framing so its isolated from whatever the framing does, its super simple to do just takes a bit of time to get a feel for it.. put mud on thick, square it up and dont squeeze all the mud out from behind the product.......now go make a mess, few choice cuss words and once you get the hang of it youll be satisfied you learned........no replacement for experience easier to add another coa than grind off excess, first few coats dont look good not do they have too.....walk away
Great video Guy!! Lots of information in this video. Which one do you like the best for inside corners and outside corners? Glad your doing better keep it up 👍👍👏👏👏
Hi, for inside corners, I mostly use paper tape but for trouble ones, the IS300 is great. For outside, either the big stick or the OS300 I think it was work great. Not sure my favorite yet.
I’ve been watching all your vids for months. I’ve remodeled a laundry room and closet by adding a hallway and a spot to add cabinets. Took roughly 16 sheets of drywall and I’m ready for mud. I was thinking of using the straight flex original on 2 45 corners, interior and exterior corner beads. Then regular paper tape on the seams. For the mud can I use all purpose for the whole project? My local store is pretty limited on what they carry. (I live out in the sticks haha) great vids! Keep it up
Thank you so much for the awesome video you made. It’s very informative and very helpful. I can’t wait to try the product myself. Did you have a chance to try Liagle tapeless drywall finishing - Tape In Mud yet? Your feedback will be highly appreciated. Thanks!
Liagle Tapeless Drywall Finishing - Tape In Mud Hey thanks for commenting. Funny you ask, because I have started working on getting all those testing set ups done again. I have several samples of different things like regular all purpose and paper tape, the tape in mud by itself, etc. mocked up. I am going to cycle them between outdoors and nighttime temperatures, bright sunlight, indoors with higher humidity, etc. to see how they react to expansion and contraction. And I’m doing other things to test and compare and hope to get that out in about a week.
@@ThatKiltedGuyDIY it doesn't have to stick as good. I first coat it with hot mud.... I've seen jobs 20 years old plus without any issues. There's a million right ways to do drywall, and 100 million wrong ways. I've moved to mostly vinyl bead now but I still don't mind metal. A lot of these paper beads I would still mesh the edge of it. Drywall is essentially a 25 to 30 year finishing system. At that point it's time for some kind of repaint no matter what you do.
Your right about the Metal corner bead is not "QUOTE" STUCK on the corner ..its SCREWED on 2 the corner INTO a stud...Guess witch one i can pull off with my hand??? Your not getting the metal bead off the wall.. Just saying..
Well if anybody’s going to beat the heck out of their house that much to where they’re knocking corner bead off the corners, then I guess you should screw it on. But then you’re going to have mud chunking off everywhere from that much abuse anyway, so I’ll stick with the tape and corner bead. Besides, it’s not coming off very easy at all if done right. The other issue is that most all corner bead that I see installed these days is installed with staples and those don’t hold near as much is the screws you’re talking about. Thanks for the input
Ok I started watching you 1 because you look like a finisher.. and you probably would get mad if I called you a spackle lol. I knowvyou had a lot of experience, because your shoulder are bad. And finally you are an USAF Vet. Only thing I don't like is you use a 6 instead of a 5 inch knife jkg. I started out in drywall as a rocker then I began a drywall business by rocking and having my best friend do the finishing. If he fell behind I help him out. Any one time he gave me his tube and said go tape it yourself lol. So I was doing these ranchers 100s of them they took 5-1/2 rolls of tape (250') so my girlfriend (now wife of 47 yrs ) taped it it took 9 rolls half of them on the floor lol. You know you have to putvthe tape on so it falls over the head of the bazooka lol. Ok corner bead o started using no-coat corner bead doing bull-nose bead, bought a hopper and could bead a house in less time than it took me to use 90 degree metal bead. And then there was the shrinkage pn beams and arches. I'd spray glue on metal bead and coat it with duabond on those. Anyway switch over to all no-coat. Had no call backs on corner bead after that. Sorry for the long windness of the comment but it like I've known you a long time
@@ThatKiltedGuyDIY Haven’t tried the glue backed bead like you have because we don’t have it in our area. Tried every way possible for tape on bead and I think the hopper method is best
I gave you a thumbs down because of the continual streaming of thumbnail videos across the bottom of the screen, which detracted from the purpose of your video. very annoying.

Regarding where the corner beads meet, such as your 45deg cuts. That makes a tiny gap. Do you paper over the gap?
Only if there's a hole in the rock under that part.
i thought it said the best corn bread, i was up for it so fast, because i love corn bread. but it actually said corner bead. well i watched it anyway.
Lol
Nope, I don't like hydro bead. I'm using mostly vinyl bead these days. I like the old school metal bead. Just need to install it right
I clinch my metal bead and mesh tape the edge
And I guarantee it still doesn’t stick as well and the corner bead rusts overtime. But use what makes you happy
