Why are some brands of beads about 75-80 degrees rather than 90? Pain in the arse

Yup! Used them today because wickes didn’t have any solid. Putting them on a lintel situation sucks. Just know they’re going to show through in places.
I’ve clouted the f**k out of them! Then hammered my finger which actually brought tears to my eyes. So went home like a big tantrumming baby!

I posted a thread about them a few months back mate , same reason as the op says , it’s like every other bead available is the wrong angle on purpose

I would like to know why, why for the love of Thor, if they insist on sticking barcodes on them why can’t they go on the very end of the bead where it’s more likely to get chopped off!!!
Or even the back of the bead!!!!!

But no that’s not my reasoning, I just like mixing it up! May as well lean on the lineage

I don't know about all the different manufacturers but if you take a look at the Catnic catalogue it shows two almost identical looking beads. One is set at 90° and is for skimming (drywall) and the other (can't remember the exact angle) is set to allow a 6mm coat (thin coat).
I'm not sure if they still do, but BG used to state that high quality work on plasterboard should be Bond and set. Hence 6mm beads.
Pete the BG beads are superb, but far too expensive even if being bought in decent quantities.

Crikey I'm always moaning about normal beads allowing too much thickness.
Actually that's what I noticed about the BG beads, they allowed a nice thin (2mm) coat.
I think their claim of 6mm is abit generous but they defo thicker than the norm...... But love them as alot of corners i bed onto are all over the place so give you scope to build out and still cover the wings.... I staple mini mesh for board.....
