TapeTech 13TT Corner Smoother - Manual

The Mesh Tape Corner Smoother is designed to wipe down and feather both sides of a 90º inside angle. The spring
action compensates for corners that are slightly over or under 90º and the blade design produces smoothly feathered
angles without snagging the mesh tape.
Snap the corner smoother onto the ball-end of the corner applicator and fill the applicator with joint compound. With the
nose end of the corner finisher leading, start on the bottom of the vertical angle and apply pressure to the corner
applicator, to start the flow of compound, while moving the tool along the angle. About 3’ from the floor, release the
pressure on the corner applicator and sweep it away from the angle. Then, starting at the top of the angle, pull the tool
down the angle and release the pressure when you reach the compound left on the previous pass. Now sweep the angle
applicator and corner finisher away from the angle. Ceiling angles are finished using the same methods.
Maintenance
Clean thoroughly, after every use with a brush and water (or water hose) to remove all joint compound from the tool.
Then, after the tool is clean, lightly oil with Ames Bazooka
®
Oil.
The Mesh Tape Corner Smoother is used in conjunction with the Monster
Mesh™ Taper. Similar to the standard angle head that is used with regular
drywall tape, it is designed for finishing angles where mesh tape is applied.
Operation
The Mesh Tape Corner Smoother should be used to finish joints taped with
mesh tape. This tool requires little effort to operate and is designed to produce
uniform results every time. It applies joint compound with the use of a standard
corner applicator.
