Heres a thought. Try getting a corner roller, not the big "real" paint corner roller, but the little (polyester, dubble-knit one) that tapers use to put mud in the corner when they are taping.

I use it on smaller jobs when I don't want to break out the big tools.

Mix your mud, use the roller to put the mud in the corner, then pull an angle head through it (using an anglehead pole). That way, when the mud is starting to get stiff, you just wash it all up, just like you do with your regular tools.
And the Capt is absolutely correct. I do this too on the small jobs with a banjo, 3.5 angle head & the corner roller. it's a ][-][ell of a lot easier to clean up than a bazooka. It also works well to "lay back" the angles with a smaller angle head as the Capt has already mentioned.

Thanks for the reminder about using hot mud w/taping tools. However, I'm not sure if I would chance using it in boxes (as if I'll afford those anytime soon)..
i have run over 60,000bdft with hot mud in my boxes.

Re: Corner tools when using Easy Sand?


I ordered a flusher handle and a small mud roller to try out...I wouldn't have thought you could roll enough mud into an inside corner faster than you could by using a small blade/knife before chatting w/you fellas...

Out of curiosity, what hot mud was that? 45, 90, 210? That's good to know that you can run hot mud in boxes though...I've never used one so I wasn't sure how hard it would be to clean one. I suppose the key like anything is to have access to water and clean it before it sets up too far...
