Yes you are nuts,,,,,, lol

Great post.

Waller hit the nail on the head. You have to first determine the problem. Sounds like you have either a worn roller or worn angle head. Many heads have been "rounded" a bit to keep from cutting and dragging the tape on the glaze coat. Many guys I know hand wipe their tape coat instead of glazing, to get a sharper corner, then run it twice with angle heads. Its an extra trip, but makes a nice corner that will sand out sharp.
