Joint & Corner
Finishing Application
1. ProForm BRAND Quick Set
compounds should be mixed in
accordance with the printed
instructions on the package.
2. A uniformly thin layer of joint
compound should be applied over
the joint approximately 4" wide.
Tape should be centered over the
joint and embedded into the
compound leaving sufficient joint
compound under the tape for
proper bond. Ceiling and wall
angles plus all inside corner angles
should be reinforced with tape
folded to conform to angles and
embedded into the compound.
3. After compound is thoroughly
dry or hard (approximately 24
hours for Regular compound or
2 hours for Quick Set), joint tape
should be covered with a coat of
joint or topping compound. The
compound should be spread over
the tape approximately 3" on each
side and feathered out at edges.
After thoroughly dry, another coat
of joint or topping compound
should be applied with a slight
uniform crown over the joint. This
coat should be smoothed and
feathered approximately 3" beyond
the preceding coat.
4. All inside corners should be
coated with at least one coat of
joint or topping compound and
the edges feathered out.
5. All nail or screw head dimples
should receive three coats. This
may be applied along with each
joint coat.
6. Flanges of wallboard cornerbead
should be concealed by at least
two coats of compound. The second
coat should be feathered out
approximately 9" on both sides
of the exposed metal nose.
7. For joint and corner treatment
with Quick Set Compound, fill joint
and bed tape simultaneously.
After Quick Set Compound has
hardened, apply any ProForm Joint
Compound.
8. For wet sanding, allow each
application of compound to dry or
harden. If dry sanding is performed,
ventilate work area and/or use a
NIOSH/MSHA-approved respirator.
Safety glasses are also recom-
mended. Caution should be used
to avoid roughing the wallboard
paper. All wallboard and treated
areas should be smooth and ready
for decoration.
