RIGHT HANDED STRAP INSTALLATION

BANJO TAPER INSTRUCTIONS
• Use a standard joint compound (mud), in the Banjo Taper. The compound mix should be similar to
the consistency of heavy texture paint, or slightly thinner than usual hand-taping mix. Your joint
compound should pour from the mixing container easily.
• Before putting the mud in the Banjo Taper, push the tape clear up to the roof of the machine, near
the handle. Then pour your mud into the body of the Banjo Taper. In this way, the tape will pull the
mud with it as it comes out the nozzle of the Banjo Taper. As the mud becomes used up, the tape
will pull down against it.
• The thumbscrew at the front of the machine is used to adjust the mud-flow with tape before the
cut off plate. Experiment until you have the appropriate adjustment for your mud.
IMPORTANT: KEEP THE BANJO TAPER CLEAN AT ALL TIMES. DO NOT ALLOW MUD TO STAY IN MACHINE
FOR MORE THAN A 2 HOUR PERIOD.
