An inspector's note about my corner beads changed my finishing routine
Last month on a job in Phoenix, the inspector flagged where my paper-faced metal corner beads were showing through after two coats. He said to pre-fill the bead nose with setting compound before taping, and now my corners look clean without extra sanding. Anyone else do this pre-fill step, or is it just me?

Used to skip the pre-fill and just lay tape over the bare bead, figured two coats would bury it fine. Seeing the nose print through after sanding got old fast, so the extra step is worth it now. Setting compound in the nose first keeps the corner tight and saves you a sanding pass.
