Corner beading

[el_indio]

Companeros,
Quick question regarding use of corner beads.
Have only ever used corner beads on new plasterboard before, have been to price up a job and wondering if corner beads should be used for reskims?
If they are, which is the best way to attach them? Can I just nail them onto the corners (ie over the previous beads)?
Or is it preferable/possible to reskim without?
Any expert help much appreciated!

If you can nail them, nail them, if not bed them

Nailing them can often speech the other side. I always staple them, it's quicker on new work, and on re skims, if they don't go all the way in because the plaster is too hard a slight tap of the hammer to flatten them will do.

Cheers for the quick replies!
So new corner beading can go over the old ones?

I Never nail would nail to old wood beads on over skim ...found the
Added moisture from plaster expands the wood bead ...& can show cracks on your new thin coat ..always stick them I've found best

Yea new can go over old.
I use hook on beads from r and j hardware.
Then if the walls out to much for it to stay I'll bed it first while setting some other walls then it will be fine for next set.

I always bed on beads on reskims as i can adjust them if the existing was slightly out.

Bed them then nail them ;-)

Bed them then nail them ;-)

Then staple them

Is there anybody that doesn't staple them on new work? It's half the time!
