here up north we use beads with paper. no need for clinchers or nail. works well. but in the 70s metal beads we put a little piece inside where they both meet and keep the clincher away about a foot from it. tack with nails and play with it a little and good luck:thumbsup:

another way is cut both sides in a slight angle and nail in between the two. hold both side at the same time that works well to

paper brad with metal inside

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.
