Claim:
An extruded corner drywall trim capable of being applied to a corner and wet-mudded on both sides comprising: a pair of semi-rigid elongated plastic flanges each with a wall-facing surface and a room-facing surface joined edge-to-edge lengthwise along a centerline, wherein said flanges can flex about said centerline; each of said flanges having a thinner region and a thicker region separated by a step, said step being approximately parallel to the centerline, the thicker region forming a protruding nose member along said centerline having a room-facing surface prepared to directly receive paint or texture, and wherein said thinner region has a flat or tapered continuous surface extending away from said step to an edge, said step and said flat or tapered continuous surface forming a region that prevents crossover of wet mud from one of said flanges to the other of said flanges; and a layer of mesh material or apertured material or perforated material on each of said flanges extending along said continuous surface approximately from the step to and beyond the edge of each of said flanges for a predetermined distance; and wherein said mesh material, apertured material or perforated material is captured between a fibrous layer and each of said flanges and wherein the wall-facing surface of said flanges include regions coated with adhesive; wherein said flanges include a plurality of punched holes; wherein said mesh penetrates into each of said flanges; wherein said adhesive is tacky, allowing said drywall trim be applied, repositioned, removed and re-applied.
