I was taught to pull from the three ways to the center then you know on every angle you only have to touch up sand one spot in the middle where you pulled off. If you go from corner to corner you have two spots to sand
@@BaadMotorFinger just the way I was taught. Neither way is wrong. The single center line is gone when you pole sand the angles before the final coat goes on angles. Three ways need to be nice so no sense pulling off in the corners. Start carefully in the corners with the flusher head and do your left, right, and down swipes.
Honest option on the mini shot vs standard angle box?? I’m highly debating on getting one. Would be freaking nice to try one out before dishing out all that cash. But would like your opinion between both
It is messy, but ai never use the box. Maybe if you have used the box before you should be fine with the minishot since it is supposed to be more controllable
Variables. Blades on head need to be set right. Consistency of mud. If the head is to full when the angle is started it can (not always) leave edges. Valve setting. Was the angle taped correctly? Many people think they can wipe angles correctly by hand but leave rounded inside corners. Many people don't roll with the tool tight enough and that in turn will have this tool leave to much mud( it shows up in the base trim. Once all that is learned and applied there is no need for further hand work other then the start and stop points.
No, if you thin your mud enough you’ll be close but you’ll still have to do feathering coats with a knife away from the corner, same as with a corner trowel. This just saves you having to coat one side of the corner and having to wait to do the other side.
I've used the Dewalt MudShot and the TapeTech Mudrunner. The Mudrunner is poorly made junk. The Dewalt was pretty good but both leave more mud than needed. The finish isn't that good. I use the Columbia Throttle Box now and it's my preferred method.
Would love to use these tools. But absolutely no one uses tools. Around here eastern Canada. And the borders are terrible :/. I have a hard time believing this stuff would work in shitty board jobs :/. Thats why I'm scared to spend the money on them. Chances are they nah not work
