Strait-Flex® OS-400

DESIGNED for outside 90° corners where large voids and irregularities occur

Diamond-punched paper edging allows for easier feathering, faster drying, and the highest bonding strength.

OS-400 can also be used on double 5/8" drywall applications.  The diamond-punched paper edging allows for easier feathering, faster drying, and the highest bonding strength.
