  • Paperbead for protecting drywall corners
    Patent number: 5613335
    Abstract: An approved corner bead for drywall construction having a paper layer bonded to an exterior surface of a formed metal or plastic core. The paper is impregnated with a latex prior to affixing it to the core. The uniformly impregnated paper provides improved protection against adverse abrasion at all levels of thickness of the paper. An improved method for covering joints formed between abutting sheets of drywall involves spreading a bonding layer of joint compound, embedding the paper strip in that compound, applying an exterior layer of compound, and sanding the exterior layer so as to provide a smooth and continuous surface between the drywall sheets.
