Ive been glueing it on for 15 years. Never had a problem with any cracking. I always spray both surfaces and allow time for the glue to set some. How can it crack if it will tear the rock apart if you have to remove it for any reason? I bet those guys that had it crack only sprayed one surface?
Thanks for the video and tips! Hey I want to convert a window to trimless but don't want to add additional drywall to the window jambs as the blinds would no longer fit. The existing window is with a wood jamb. Should I cut the wood jamb out and replace with drywall? Or how would that work? Thanks!
Right, I was thinking if I removed the wood jambs up the windows, then replace it with drywall, doing a drywall return to the wall. Then I could put a tear way L-trim on the Window side and leave a 1/8th inch space, mud up to the L-trim, then tear away. I wasn't sure how the wood jambs work, if I could remove them without removing the window. We had new windows installed about 2 years ago and they were able to keep the existing wood jambs (and therefore the inside mouldings) intact. I don't know much about windows, but am I safe to assume the new windows just butted up to the jambs instead of going inside them?
Few years back I hung a house that the builder made from a torn down barn. They constructed so as that all the 10" beams we exposed. This I had to tear away bead every beam. I bet I put 300 sticks of tear away in one house. Not counting all the windows & doors I used it on Tear away makes life easy when framers try to make it harder.
Just used this on a basement where they only wanted one section boarded up with new drywall, but it connected to two walls with shitty old vinyl wrapped drywall, like they'd use in a trailer so I had no other way to tape a corner into it, and a drop ceiling that I didn't want to take down. Worked fantastic.
Great video as always Ray, for those of us who are not familiar with the tear away bead can you please do a follow up video showing it completed or tearing away the bead? I need to do something around my basement windows and think this is a good fit but need to learn a little more.
No need to apologize, you answered all my questions in your video from 2 years ago ( just watched) “Everything you need to know about tear away bead”. Not sure how I missed it. Always enjoy your content Ray, thank you
Agree 100% with you stables are the way to go also I do not like breathing the glue fumes I got lazy and and purchased an electric stable gun it’s great those shims are always a pain and slow you up
I was just googling, but marvin has a dry wall return as one of their options. not exactly too sure what it is, but sure looks like you could use it here.
@@THEDRYWALLDOCTOR1 once I am on my desktop I'll link marvin's broucher . Shows drywall return as an option for you to buy. Not sure if this helps .I was trying to figure out what it is.
Did you hang this? This garage is similar to mine I'm DIYing. I wish I'd put the ~15 inch section in the middle like this rather than the bottom like I did mine.
Personally I prefer to keep my factory seams rather than make a bastard joint. I'd rather have a seam a foot from the floor than a giant butt joint all the way around room.
You rock! Thank you for sharing your experience with us, and always keeping things interesting!

Just know if you mud up wood the mud will crack and flake off because of the wood expanding and contracting.

I think you're right ✅️

Good idea thanks Doc, garages are a normal thing like that for finishing a window like your enthusiasm
Hey Doc would the plastic crack around the window though
Eventually yes but you need to caulk that crack and it will be just fine
Rather just tile or marble I know coating around windows is a el cheapo way to go

I'm sorry it's all done sanded ready for paint and that's the only video I had next time

What size staples do you use? Also info on the stapler?
It's just an arrow stapler and a 3/8 inch staple is more than enough
👍🏼 great stuff. Definitely helped me with my window project.
Have you seen the tapepro mud box. I think it's faster than the bazooka if you include wash time.
Never really ran a banjo I know that's not a banjo but it runs like one
I'll race you for a grand.
What are u stapling to? I have some coming up but it’s insulated block walls and window frames. I can’t staple to styrofoam really
Use spray glue
Agree 100% with you stables are the way to go also I do not like breathing the glue fumes I got lazy and and purchased an electric stable gun it’s great those shims are always a pain and slow you up
That's why I only buy flangeless tearaway. It does the same exact thing and there's no real need for the flange.
Do you use splayed staples as they suggest? We glue and staple our bead. We use all Trim Tex Bead. No call backs!
Yeh I'm pretty sure Trim Tex instructions say to spray and staple. No glue more staples.
That's why we have to use the flangeless tear away bead. Boarding ethier to tight or shims in way behind boarding every job
I think tape tech recommend spray and staple, you just need need less stapling if you glue it. As per manufacturer specs.
They do but I've never had a problem with just stapling

You mean drywall return? That's what's happing here.

My hangers did

No matter you are still attaching it either way!.
Can't you get 54 board where you live? I've noticed you never seem to use it.
They don't fit in my pickup easy
@@THEDRYWALLDOCTOR1 😄 fair enough
Oh I see, I put the tear away under my drywall like j Chanel.
Drywall Sauce
Wouldn't it be a d200 if it didn't tearaway? What fun is that? lol......you're too much "still too short."
Horrible camera can't see the cuts
Yes I know I need to redo a lot of videos with my new camera.
@@THEDRYWALLDOCTOR1 that would be helpful
