TAPEPRO MUD BOX PRO
The Tapepro Mud Box Pro™ simultaneously applies paper tape and the correct amount
of joint compound to all flat and internal angle joints. It can be used with 75 or 150m rolls
of paper tape, and features a separate creaser wheel and cutter, both operated by rear
LOADING
Paper Tape:
1.
Remove the lid by sliding it toward the tape wheel.
2.
Remove the tape spool and fit a roll of paper tape - refit to machine.
3.
Feed the paper tape through the mud box, under the mud retainer and over the tape wheel (see MBP-1).
4.
Fold the lid in half and refit to mud box.
Compound:
1.
After thoroughly mixing the compound, fill the mud box by hand or by using a pump (see MBP-2).
2.
Fold back and shut the lid.
3.
Use the black thumb screw on the lid to adjust the quantity of compound applied.
4.
Pull the starting tab of tape through the machine until it has compound on one side.
5.
Hold the tape over the tape wheel and use the cutter to cut off the excess.
USING THE TAPEPRO MUD BOX PRO
1.
Apply the tape to the start of the joint and press against the wall with the tape wheel.
2.
As soon as possible get into a position so that the tape wheel is leading - maintain pressure
against the wall to prevent tape drag.
3.
When you are approximately 70mm from the end of the joint, pull on the cutter lever to cut
the tape (see MBP-3).
4.
Roll out the remaining tape.
5.
To continue on the next joint, use the feed roller (against the wall) to advance the tape onto
the tape wheel.
6.
For internal joints, start with a slightly longer tab of tape and with the mud box almost
horizontal.
7.
Use the creaser wheel to crease the tape (do not press too hard).
8.
As soon as possible get into position with the tape wheel leading.
9.
Use the same angle on ceiling joints so that the cutter has room to operate (see MBP-4).
10.
To bed in the tape on flat joints use a joint knife - on internals use a corner roller and corner
glazer.
CLEANING
It is important to clean your Tapepro Mud Box Pro
lifespan. Do not allow the compound to set in the box or on the rollers. To thoroughly clean the tool
use a stiff brush and hose to remove all loose joint compound.
