These are mustard for curving splayed angles............:RpS_thumbup:

I have one for taping but I don't like rounding corners. I have bent mie so it has a permanent point which sharpens the corner. It's ideal for that.

Do you trowel up with them too?

It works on just about all angles. If the angles are not very sharp just use ya trowel but for the more acute angles just load the angle up with finish and run the tool along it, it takes seconds to form the curve. keep running the curve after every trowel......:RpS_thumbup:

They double up as an education tool, like when ya bitch forgets to clean his beads or brush his angles in they make swift work of giving him a thick ear............:RpS_thumbup:

 

[spunky]

Do you use them on all splayed angles?

depends how good the boarding is. most of the loft conversions i do, the joiners do all the tacking and there ceiling lines are twatfull so its better to curve them to hide how bad they are. also depends what the customer wants.....:RpS_thumbup:
