Trim-Tex Reveal Bead - Manual

INC.
1/4" X 1/4" Reveal
If you’re looking to add a subtle detail to any
wall, 1/4" X 1/4" Reveal is for you. Trim-Tex, the
leading manufacturer of rigid vinyl drywall
accessories expands its line of Reveal Beads.
Shown in the picture to the left with 2 stripes,
our new Reveal gives you a sharp, crisp line along
the drywall. You can run single, double, triple or as
many stripes as you desire.
The new Reveal finishes to approximately a
1/4" x 1/4" size and installs as easily as any Trim-
Tex product. It has enough flexibility to be able to
curve along a barrel ceiling. While it can be used for
commercial applications, the smaller scale of the
new Reveal makes it perfect for residential
applications where a larger Reveal Bead would seem
overpowering.

Installation Instructions:
To ensure straightness, snap a chalk line along the drywall
to use as a guide for the 1/4" x 1/4" reveal. Dry fit the
bead for length. Snip back the bead as shown to the right
for 3 way intersections. For a four way intersection,
simply copy the detail on the other side.
Method 1: Using the chalk line as a guide install the bead
to the wall stapling both mud legs every 6-10" with 1/2"
long divergent staples.
Method 2: Liberally apply Trim-Tex 847 spray adhesive
to the drywall and then to the back of the bead.
Immediately apply to the wall using the chalk like as a
guide. Once in position, press the legs into place using the
handle of your taping knife. This ensures the bead will
properly bond to the wall. Go back a second time to press
the legs into place once the adhesive has tacked up.
To keep mud out of the center insert a soft ¼" sash cord
into the center of the Reveal as shown above. Be sure not
to leave excessive mud buildup on the mud bumps. After
final sanding, gently remove the cord from the Reveal.
Lightly sand along the edges of the Reveal as needed.
Caulk seams with a latex acrylic caulk at all intersections
and butt joints.
When painting be careful not to roller too much paint into
the Reveal. The center does not require primer and only
needs a coat of finish paint to be brushed in.
