Trim-Tex Reveal Beads add expansion control in long drywall runs or create aesthetic details in a space. A huge advantage of vinyl Reveal Beads is their ability to easily bend to fit around curves. Arched or curved designs no longer need to be finished with costly custom aluminum reveals, which makes these designs accessible to more consumers. Installing Trim-Tex Reveal Beads around curves is nearly as easy as installing them on straight runs of drywall.
The most important step when curving Reveal Beads is the measurement. Remember, measure twice cut once! To begin, measure the radius of the curve and then refer to the chart below to find the correct size of Reveal Bead for the job.
Once the proper Reveal Bead is selected, ensure the gap in the drywall is the correct size to fit the Reveal Bead.

Then apply 847 Spray Adhesive to the Reveal Bead and fit the bead into the curved channel. The vinyl bead will easily bend and arch with the curve. If using spray adhesive, apply staples to hold the bead in place. In the alternative, the bead can be applied with staples only.
