1/2-inch Trim Inside Corners 10-Pack
Our 1/2-inch Trim Inside Corners 10-Pack make finishing the installation of InstaTrim flexible trim strips easy. These innovative corners close the gaps of 90-degree inside and outside corners. The end caps finish exposed trim ends to create a clean, finished look.
Inside and outside corner caps slip over the end of the InstaTrim strips at the corner so you no longer need to cut a precise compound edge to finish the corners. The end caps are the perfect solution to covering exposed trim ends where the InstaTrim does not butt to another surface.
- FINISH CORNERS - These innovative corners close the gaps of 90-degree inside and outside corners to create a clean, finished look. Great for windows, counters, flooring, and more, these trim pieces cover the corner gap between two pieces of InstaTrim flexible trim.
- EASY APPLICATION - Don't waste another afternoon on a frustrating DIY project with confusing instructions. InstaTrim has easy-to-follow, clear instructions that will make your next home improvement project a breeze. These corner and end pieces work perfectly with InstaTrim 1/2" flexible adhesive trim. Simply slide the ends of the InstaTrim strips between the “face” and the “tail” of the cap piece at the corner - that's it! Then, sit back and enjoy the professional, finished look.
- NO MESS, NO STRESS - Traditional caulking can be messy, even for people who have used the product before. InstaTrim takes the mess and hassle out of caulking projects, while still providing great results.

APPLICATION
Our flexible trim strips feature a pressure sensitive adhesive. When applied with firm, constant pressure, InstaTrim flexible trim will last for years without requiring replacement. For the best adhesion and professional look, we recommend the InstaTrim Applicator Tool and the InstaTrim Corner & End Caps
ADHESIVE
Rubber-based butyl, pressure sensitive adhesive, contains no toxic chemicals or fumes. Conforms to ASTM D4236 (Info Tox International, Inc.)
PATENTED DESIGN
InstaTrim’s flexible wings create an additional level of protection against dust, dirt, moisture and air movement. Our flexible wings apply pressure to the application surface creating a second barrier of protection.
CEILING APPLICATIONS
We recommend using 1/2 inch wide strips.
SILICONE REMOVAL
If you are applying InstaTrim to an area that has old silicone caulk, you will need to complete the Silicone Removal Process.
Using a sharp blade, cut away and remove all existing silicone caulk.
Use a scrubby sponge or stiff bristle brush to help remove stubborn silicone residue with acetone or isopropyl alcohol.
Thoroughly wipe surface with acetone* to remove any remaining residue or oils left on the surface. Let surface dry completely.
*Only use Acetone in well-ventilated areas and avoid any exposure to ignition sources such as a pilot light, candle or cigarette.
INSTALLATION
Position the end of the strip at your starting point and lay the strip where it will be installed to determine where to cut the finish end. Be sure to add ¼ inch to the end to ensure a tight fit. Mark the strip and cut with a razor blade or scissors.
On the adhesive side of the trim, peel back the liner to expose the adhesive. Hold the end of the strip with the adhesive side facing the application corner. Push the first end of the strip onto the corner and apply the first 2-3 feet by pressing it down every 4-6 inches with your fingers. Repeat with the next 2-3 feet until you reach the end. If the strip is a little crooked, peel the strip back and reset it before the next step.
Next, firmly press the strip into the corner along the entire length, making sure you are applying enough pressure to allow the adhesive to bond with your application surface. We recommend using the InstaTrim Applicator Tool which helps to provide even constant pressure for the adhesive and also makes it easier on your fingers.
No drying time is needed. If you wish you may paint immediately after installing.
NOTE: Do not stretch the InstaTrim strip as you install it, this may cause the end to pull back once the trim has been set into place.
SURFACE PREPARATION –
To ensure an effective installation for InstaTrim’s adhesive to properly bond with the surface it is very important that the consumer follow all instructions for cleaning the application surface.
SILICONE –
InstaTrim will not adhere to old silicone! All silicone caulk, residue and oils MUST be 100% removed prior to installing InstaTrim strips. See “Silicone Removal Process” for details on how to properly remove all silicone. NOTE: some tile, granite and quartz products come with a silicone sealer to prevent moisture and stains from absorbing into the surface.
WAX AND OILS -
Surface must be free from wax and oils. Do not use surface cleaners that contain waxes and oils, such as furniture polish, mineral spirits and surface restore products.
Application surface must be clean, dry and free of dust and dirt.
HOW TO APPLY
1 Clean surface and let dry.
2 Peel back the liner.
3 Press firmly into the gap.
4 Trim the finished edge, and voila!
USE INSTATRIM ANYWHERE
InstaTrim works with all surfaces that do not have silicone or silicone residue on them, like: Granite, Laminate, Wood, Glass, Metal, and more!
Since Instatrim worked so well on the floor/trim earlier this year, I decided to tackle the countertop situation. Some settling in the building had caused the countertop to pull away taking half of the grout line with it. Scraped all the residue off and applied the Instatrim. Again, so easy-to-use and great results!
JO, thank you for the excellent pictures from your project using InstaTrim Products. You can see first hand how it always looks perfect and is so much better than traditional caulking.
Great Job and thank you for sharing.

So easy and great results; Priceless!
On one wall, the trim does not meet the flooring, allowing a cold draft into the room. Instatrim application eliminated the gap and the draft. Completed the rest of the room for aesthetics and continuity. Very pleased with this product, highly recommend.
Thank you for your comments and pictures! We are very happy to hear InstaTrim was simple to use. Greg
These work well with the trim.. but really, $15 for the tiny bag of 10 pieces.... kinda price gouging don't you think?
I like how it looks and it was easy to apply. I purchased 2 pkgs of the corner pieces and I still didn’t have enough, even though I only did a bathroom. Perhaps offer a 10 pk of inside or outside corners would be better. I also received 3/4 pieces instead of the 1/2 I ordered, they replaced them without any problem but should have overnighted them since I originally paid for expedited shipping and this error was their fault. Overall it’s a good product and I would recommend it.
JP;
Thank you for your comments. I agree, we should have sent your replacement corners overnight, we dropped the ball on that one! Our apologies.

worked perfectly, easy to apply
After having re-caulked the shower numerous times over the 7 years, I Found InstaTrim when I searched the web for an answer. It fixed the problem. Being the skeptic I became because everything I tried eventually failed, I found I cannot say anything wrong about InstaTrim. Thank you for this solution.
Awesome easy way to caulk…
Work great with main trim
Wrong size
Looks great.
I hate caulking but this product made the job much easier. I am hoping that it eliminates mildew but it is still too easy to tell. It looks great now and not peeling or shrinking so I am optimistic.
DD, thank you for your comments. Just an FYI that all of our InstaTrim Products have a 'fungicide' additive so you should never see any mold or mildew.
Have a great week,
Regards

The corners are potentially very useful in connecting strips, but require some teasing to get them to align and to sit flat on the floor. Use of a caulk to hold everything together is useful and not really clarified in the instructions. Overall, I would recommend them, but it takes some practice.
Ira, another useful tip is to use a small amount of the adhesive from the back of the strip and place on the bottom of the corner piece. Greg
wonderful product it looks sooooo nice with my new counter tops
Thank you for your comments, we would enjoy seeing pictures of your project if your able to do so. Greg
The moment I submitted my online order, I realized the shipping address was incorrect. I couldn't find a phone number; website said to direct inquiries to customer service email. I emailed immediately with correct address. No response. When i got auto email confirming my order, I emailed again. No repIy. I have not received the order or had any kind of response.
Michal, opur apologies for the confusion with your order. I have verfied your order is going out today. Let me know if I can help with anything else at this time. We take our customer service very seriously and as a family owned business, responding to our customers is critical to our success.

Although the product is easy to install and looks good, the tacky adhesive is not very strong. After a few days, a few of the corners started curling up. Yes, my floor was clean and yes, I used a roller on it. I think if the entire backing was coated with a different type of adhesive, that it might work better. Btw, used it in my rv. New floors, so that's why I decided to go with this product.
I got these because I saw great reviews on the tape and corners. I step by step followed the instructions. The corners didnt fit in the corner I needed, and the tape did stick to anything at all. I prepped the tub and walls and even let it dry overnight before putting up the tape. Its peeling off the walls and tub. I even tried it around the sink and nothing is sticking to the porcelain. I wanted this to work so badly.
Christine, I'm sorry our trim did not work for you. It sounds like you have old silicone caulking on the application surfaces. Unfortunately, nothing sticks to old silicone caulk. If I can help in getting that removed please let us know.
Regards,
Greg
This stuff works okay. It looks good and goes down easily. I suggest two things. Place a different Adhesive on the part of the back that isn't covered. Make the whole thing sticky, not just the center.
And for users, always add a 1/2 inch to your measurements. It's easier to cut off the excess, than to cut it short.
First time buyer and after being initially skeptical, I was pleasantly surprised at the ease of installation and quality of the product. I would recommend and buy again!
Great customer service
Easy to install and looks fantastic
I used the product for a small bathroom vanity and between the countertop and backsplash in my kitchen. It solved the problem of cracking caulk and crumbling grout. It was very easy to install and looks great. I highly recommend following the surface prep directions as this made the product adhere very well. The entire project took less than 30 minutes which was far less time that it would have taken to redo the grout and caulk.
Used the inside corners where I could. I like the clean, finished look. Thought the putty would be a bit stickier, but we’ll see how it wears. Will definitely be buying more to go around the toilets.
I find the inside corners and end caps are quite useful, but the outside corners less so. Used a small dab of silicone applied to the mounting surface to help hold them in place. Would be great if you sold larger bags of just the inside corners and end caps. Also a three way inside corner would be handy for use with tub/tile shower. Thanks for the great product!
Love the tape but not so sure of the corners and the appearance. Will check back at a later date to give you my final review after having them on a period of time.
I am trying to do more than two rooms and a hallway. The hallway has a lot of corners unfortunately but the package does not have enough corners but those corners make the process so easy.
The corners stick out a little too much but they do the job and align the borders perfectly when it comes to the corners.
This product is "so" easy to use, and it gives your project a very professional finished look when you are done.! Not to mention, if you "ever" have a problem, or need customer support, someone is always there to help and/or answer any questions you may have. "Great" customer support.!
I am in the process of remodeling my 2007 Class A, Winnebago Tour. The original vinyl ceiling eventually succumbed to the heat and had to be removed. I painted the ceiling and I used the white 3/4 inch trim. The product is easy to install, and has the staying power I need in an RV. Thanks InstaTrim...Homerun!!!
