Tear Away

A drywall Tear Away is a vinyl finishing bead with a removable strip, used to create a clean, sharp edge where drywall meets another surface like a window, door, or ceiling, protecting the adjacent material from mud and tape for a flawless finish with less cleanup. The tear-off flange acts as a mask during mudding, and once the joint compound dries, the strip is peeled away, leaving a smooth, crisp line for painting.
