By far the most frustrating thing about plastering jobs is the drying times. This is especially true with inside corners - with a knife you pretty much can’t do both sides the same day because you’ll always end up messing up the opposite one.

I finally gave one of those corner tools a try, and the result is fucking mint. The customer is going to be so happy with these flawless corners tucked behind the curtains in their living room.

    also you have the feather the edges in after still, just like you would with a single edge tool. it’s not gonna get rid of that unless you’re really good

    See, that’s the part I was expecting the corner tool to make easier. If I’ve got to feather the edge with a normal knife anyway, I might as well just use the normal one for the whole thing.

      but then you have a sharp internal corner

      if that works for you, then yeah no point using this
