When skimming walls in order to bring a plaster finish up to a better

Any plasterer I've had do this job for me has always attached new
(standard) beading over the old.

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 .

I don't get that either. If you put that stuff to a corner edge prior to
applying 3mm of skim plaster, then surely the reinforced metal corners
will be buried under 3mm of plaster which will be vulnerable to knocks -
surely the whole point of using beading at external corners is so the
metal is exposed to the atmosphere and protects the corner?
