you guys will think i'm nuts (as do many people i've worked with) but I use a corner trowel. I only use it on second and third coats. At first, it takes a little longer, but once you get the hang of it- it's really quick. The corners come perfect.

Yes you are nuts,,,,,, lol

I think all of us own one of those trowels though, am I right?

Is the tape kind of frizzy in the middle? That would point to your roller, if it's mud that is rounded, yes your plow head needs new blades/ adjusted.

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.

did you figure it out finally?

hey guys, i seamfill and paint, i own a finish pro corner finisher, and i find it leaves a slight round inside corner,which is harder to cut in while painting , i was thinking after i put the final coat on with the corner finisher maybe mudding one side by hand on the the ceilings to get a straighter line for when i cut in while painting. any ideas or is there a better corner finisher that leaves a perfect square inside corner. thanks
