Anyone use this Screwfix product for corners?:

Never seen it before. Can't actually imagine how it can work.


It's just tape with two metal sections stuck on in the middle( the
grey parts with a very small gap between) which you fold over and
fix to the corner of the wall and plaster over it .

The way you've shown it in the photo (metal out) is the intuitive way I
expected to use it but the instructions say metal strips to the wall
with the tape on the outside. After a (very) short attempt at using it I
dumped it in the bin and got some low profile external bead, much
better.


Ah right ..I never thought of using it paper side out ...I've not
actually used it at all ...just checked the box it came in and it has
no instructions .
What didnt you like about it ?
