Abstract
Abstract A method of forming an exterior corner bend in fibrous sheet material in which a pair of parallel, overlapping, V-shaped grooves are formed across one side surface of the material so as to provide a pair of bevelled edge faces spaced apart by a triangular rib, filling the V-shaped grooves with a liquid settable rib and maintaining the sheet in its bent condition until the adhesive sets.
