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.
