paper faced bead

It is made by USG i will get the proper code number for it , USG makes different tape on bead this is a little more wider and more ridged and don't pull out from the wall as it is setting , unlike the other brands out there.. also i tried rope bead which is a form of tape on bead which has a small bead of line to form the bead which i did not care for it tends not to lay flat but seems to bow out when doing soffits and long runs.

I use the B-1 superwide as well. Those of you that say it's too messy... maybe, but you make up for it with less coats/mud and time saved. Or the guys that say you're beating it up... blah blah blah.... it's the same strength as metal. If you're wrecking paper bead and not metal bead in the same way, it's not being applied correctly.

It is a paper face cornerbead. The B-1 super wide is wider then the others.

Sorry did see there was a page two..

No Coat Bead is the best, as mentioned for long soffit work. Can be finished with 1 coat if you do it right. Metal beads are my secondary, and use clincher followed by a hand stapler always. Screws never, tend to bend the bead out.

^ nail stapler? not drywall nails? just curious?

Yes a stanley stapler with staples from 1/2", 3/8", or 5/8". This is the fastest to install them, only bad thing is the 20.00 staplers go bad quick.

so you guys just tote a compressor and line around? sounds like a pain in the @$$

I really want to try the No-Coat bead but were having trouble getting it here in the UK. Tape on beads are great but very expensive here, about £85 + tax for a box of 50. I use thincoat metal bead mostly, stapled on by hand with 14mm staples.
