How to coat corner bead

How to coat corner bead like a pro and get perfect results! I am using a Sheetrock Tools 8" Blue Steel knife, 14" pan and USG Plus 3 thinned down with some water. One of the biggest tips I can give you is make sure you are feathering your edges and slowly building up your coats. That will make for a better finish and easier sanding!

What kind of corner bead is this? I heard you explaining the difference between the metal ones but I didn’t catch the name of this type of corner bead

I'm having heal w/feathering edges of any mudding. Do you have any tips or is just practice a lot?

[@DrywallShorty]

Sure, experiment with using a different knife. Some people cut their edges with a smaller knife like a 5" or 6" and then use the bigger knife. Try cutting the edge a little bit further in or further out to see what you like the best. It's all about practice and what works the best for you!

Lydia is great at what she does! Still learning myself! But I can tell and see she knows what she's doing! Take care ladies!

Nice video ! sheetrock knifes ?

[@DrywallShorty]

Yep! That’s a Sheetrock brand blue steel 8” 👍

[@ShaneHolly]

Is this considered a 2nd coat or 1st coat?
Is embedding tape the 1st coat?

[@DrywallShorty]

This would be first coat - its the first time mud is being applied to this corner bead.

My daughter is a Lydia and she's been getting her first exposure to the trade at 7. Hopefully she'll be a MD, for your sake at least 😄

[@DrywallShorty]

That’s awesome!! ❤️❤️
