# Step-By-Step Guide to Installing Metal Flex Corner Tape.

## Step 1: Preparation.

Before you start installing the metal flex corner tape, make sure the corners are clean and free of any dust or debris. Use a damp cloth to wipe down the corners and let them dry completely.

## Step 2: Cut the Tape.

Measure the length of the corner where you will be applying the metal flex corner tape. Use a pair of scissors to cut the metal flex corner tape to the appropriate length.

## Step 3: Apply Joint Compound.

Using a taping knife, apply a thin layer of joint compound to one side of the metal flex corner tape. Make sure the joint compound covers the entire surface of the tape.

## Step 4: Position the Tape.

Carefully place the metal flex corner tape over the corner, making sure it fits snugly. Press the tape into the corner to ensure a tight bond with the joint compound.

## Step 5: Embed the Tape.

Using the taping knife, gently smooth out the metal flex corner tape, making sure it is flat against the corner. Remove any excess joint compound that squeezes out from under the tape.

## Step 6: Let it Dry.

Allow the metal flex corner tape to dry completely before applying a second coat of joint compound. This will ensure a strong and seamless finish.

## Step 7: Sand and Paint.

Once the second coat of joint compound is dry, sand the area lightly to smooth out any rough spots. Then, you can paint over the metal flex corner tape to match the rest of the wall.

## Step 8: Repeat as Needed.

If you have more corners to cover, repeat the above steps for each corner. Make sure to let each layer of joint compound dry completely before applying the next coat.

## Conclusion.

By following this step-by-step guide, you can effectively install metal flex corner tape to achieve a professional and durable finish on your corners. Remember to take your time and ensure each step is done meticulously for the best results.
