It's a Trim-Tex product. They call it Tear-Away.

I'm a fool. lol We don't do many return windows, but we usually only get our normal $1 a foot cornerbead upgrade. So a 5 x 2 1/2 window would only be $15 for us. Maybe we ought to go up to $2 a foot for windows

Re: Wrapping windows


wynbassman, if your profession was full time window wrapper, (hang, bead, finish for paint), could you make a good living at $15 per window?? that's how i rationalize pricing. at $15 a window, i would let you do every window in every home i ever build.. i just don't like the wrapped window appearance, too commercial for me.. too many wraps look out of square, and because of moisture, many have peeling paint issues.
