Another great tip! Great idea to cut away part of the corner bead! Do you have a picture after it was all finished? Would love to see the end result. Thank you for sharing your wisdom.
We're upgrading the walls in our kitchen from the original wood paneling to drywall. Our cabinets are real wood and we decided to not destroy them by taking them out and opted for 1/4" drywall overlay. One issue we've encountered is the transition from the countertop to the drywall. Tossing around the idea of using a small quarter-round and came across your video and you gave me the idea to use the l-bead for this. I worked in the drywall supply business for 13 years and as much bead as we ever sold, I had forgotten about this stuff. Thanks!
Thats amazing! If we're being honest, we forget that there's a bead for every situation more often than we'd like to admit. Thrilled we could help remind you 👍
We have lots of videos on this topic throughout our page. Not totally sure what you mean, but maybe tape and caulking could help or something similar with spackling?
Question - any suggestion for painting the side wall of a built in that’s butted up against a very jagged, irregular stone fireplace? There are spots where the rock is right up against the built-in, and there are spots with a one-inch gap. Thoughts?
hmm 🤔, thats a tricky situation. Our best advice (assuming we understand your question correctly) would be to make those gaps disappear as much as possible. Painting whatever is behind the stone a dark color is often the best way to do this (but it’s possible a color similar to the stone works better, you’ll have to experiment). Grab yourself an artists paintbrush and dab dark paint in those spots and hopefully it becomes less noticeable. If your question is in regards to how to paint the side wall/unit itself, this video might be of use to you 👍 ua-cam.com/video/BCCXhgkI12s/v-deo.htmlsi=ttp0NeC0UPv19AO-
Would you please tell me if that white on the old brick surface was there in the first place? Or did you put it??I wanna know what you have used on it. Thanks in advance.
I am glad I saw this video because I just framed in my pre-cast stone fire place and was wondering how to make the edges of the cement board have a straight line appearance against the pre-cast. Thanks!
I just purchased a house and there is a large room with faux beams. The room is about 15' x 30' and the beams run the 30' length. I want put up a wall and make this into two rooms, which means the wall will go across the beams. Do I construct the wall around the beams or cut them out and install the frame and sheetrock between the cutout. Thank you for any advise.
Hard to say without seeing it- but if youre not worried about permanently disrupting the look of the faux beams- the real question becomes which of the two options you listed can you do more easily and more cleanly. Building the wall around the beams could be a lot of additional work in comparison to removing or cutting the beams and constructing an unobstructed wall, then reinstalling the beams to fit the new configuration- but its impossible to say without more context. If t you do decide to build a wall around the beams (ie. the beams are not easily cut or removed etc.) then you should look into some of the beads that Trim-Tex makes like these 👉 www.trim-tex.com/products/overview/commercial-beads/tear-away-beads/ to make the transition from drywall to beam look perfect. Also, this should go without saying, but do NOT cut any beams without knowing for 100% certain they are not structural in any way 👍
We’d recommend taking a look at some of Trim-Tex’s J-beads or tear away beads to find the one that best suits your needs. There’s a ton of options out there for you 👍 www.trim-tex.com/products/overview/commercial-beads/j-l-beads/ www.trim-tex.com/products/overview/commercial-beads/tear-away-beads/
Great tip. In my situation, i'm trying to do a transition from drywall to a cabinet board. This is at a high traffic corner of a Island. Any advice n what to use at this corner?
We’d recommend looking into more specific bead designed to stand up to more wear and tear. Something like this would would probably be better: www.trim-tex.com/products/tear-away-l-bead. They also have beads that allow for some deflection (movement) like these: www.trim-tex.com/products/deflection-bead
I'm close to this part in my attic project. I already found this video,but lost it. Found it again, f*cking awesome!
Great stuff. Thank you! I am about to do this very same thing and your video was short, informative, and to the point.

Good idea! We’ll post something on our Instagram page (link in our bio) within the next few weeks 👍
Great stuff. I have an ensuite bathroom with a wood T&G ceiling and was wondering how to best approach this!

This is great! Thank you. Subbed. No reason you couldn’t do that on a horizontal wall edge again Shiplap as well?
Correct! Though Trimtex does make some really awesome specialized beads if necessary👍
Great video!! Any suggestions for when the drywall edge is rounded and butting to wood? How would you close up the rounded gap to wood?

Way to improvise 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
Appreciate it!!
I wish it would have continued to demonstrate finishing the brick and mortar to the opposite side where they meet
they meet
What's the purpose of trimming one end a bit beforehand? Thanks!
So it tucks easily behind the drywall 👍
Have you ever or could you use one of these beads that for example half attaches to wood and half attaches to sheetrock?
Do you tape the bead on the drywall after you attach it? Or just feather it to blend it in?
No need, these particular Trimtex beads are “mud-set” meaning you just mud them in👍

How do you attach the T edge rip stuff? Spray glue and taping mud?
This particular bead is just secured with mud, but other vinyl beads will ask for staples and spray.

Bravo, thank you
Thank you too!
How about an outside corner? I have a wall that drywall meets knotty pine in a very bad way.

will it be airtight?
no, this method will not be air tight
