What Customers Are Saying
The product has a mixed reception. Some users found it effective at creating straight, professional-looking inside corners, appreciating the paper-faced metal design that made it easier to cover and finish the corners. However, others reported issues with the product being difficult to work with, especially for horizontal applications, with the paper bubbling or the metal bending easily, leading to uneven or cracked corners. The consensus is that the product is useful for inside corners when used correctly, but requires careful installation and may not be suitable for all drywall applications.

Would RecommendVery easy to use and work with! Made the inside corners super easy!
Cuts mudding time in half.
We love this product it works beautifully with the paper faced metal corner bead and the fact that you can get the inside as well as the outside corners is huge. With the paper facing it makes it so much easier to cover and makes the job quite seamless

this is hopefully an isolated case
The metal strips were bowed from end to end, from them standing on end in the isle display

Won't use again
Would Not RecommendI will never use this again. Cost twice as much as regular corner bead and the paper bubbled up so much that I had to cut out.
doesn't take a professional to install very simple
Would Recommendmakes corners easy to install, not a chance of tearing the paper
Great product
Would RecommendJust used these corners to finish our bathroom and they were so much easier to use than the regular metal ones. You have to use mud spackling to set them, just like tape. What a great job and looks great. Highly recommend.
EXCELLENT if you know what you are using!
Would RecommendThis stuff is EXCELLENT. The guy who gave this a one-star review is using this incorrectly two ways. First of all, he is using this INSIDE corner bead on an outside corner. Secondly, for some unknown reason, he is trying to mount it with adhesive instead of mud?? Not!! Use the right product correctly and ths is a great product.
Works Well when done properly
Would RecommendLike the other review stated, this is an excellent product when used properly. A thin coat of mud in the "inside" corner then place the corner bead. I get it situated in place then use a putty knife to set it in the mud. The excess mud that pushes out is then applied as a thin coat on top of the paper. This is only the first coat so don't go too thick. This product saves a bit of time over the old paper only method. I like these way better than the vinyl ones. I have placed a ton of these on sev...
This cornerbead works as it should.
Would RecommendNot sure about how this was applied from the guys giving one star reviews, but I can tell you its wrong. No where does it say this product is to be applied using a spray adhesive?!? Specifically said intended to be imbedded into mud. Also this one is specifically intended to be used on an inside joint, not outside. I'm pretty sure the rest of his work is going to fail. As for the one about the edges tapering out and would not embed into the mud, the mud was too dry or was pushed too tight into t...
Not a good product
Would Not RecommendThe paper on all the ones I bought was bent out and would not stay flat.
