Long runs of corner bead always give issues when I have 2 pieces of bead butting eachother. I typically crimp and nail off my metal beads every 6 inches and clip corners on the butt pieces (not 45 , just the corner of the tab) . I usually mess around enough with it to make it look OK but I feel like iam missing something. **** boughtall metal bead and iam wondering if there is any tricks to make those butt pieces go better? Any help would be appreciated.
