    I really like the vinyl corner bead. After looking at the trim-tex site, I watched the video on installation. They either glue their bead on or staple it on. Or a combination of both. For several years I have been installing it totally different. I run it through a bead hopper then use a...

    Well from some of the past threads we already know what a pain in the butt bull nose is to install. So how do you think it stacks up against shafer/chafer(sp?) bead? FYI 3 years ago I did a 20,000sf house(with a ton of arches) in experimental chafer bead and since it's really taken off in this...
