![]() Oh yeah, when someone drops them on a slab when they are on stilts it will occasionally break a blade. This means that the closets and the garage have enough mud on the first coat, that they will sand out fine, and not have to be second coated.Īngle heads, You should have them re=built or re-build them yourself (I do) when the blades begin to wear, or the little stainless pieces that ride the inside of the corner (can't remember what their called) begin to wear, I finish between 200 and 300 boards a week, and my heads (columbia) go better than 2 years before they need re-building. As you can guess, we use it while we are taping rather than just dragging a head on a pole to glaze the tape, it puts a coat on the tape rather than just smoothing down what mud your getting from the bazooka, if you use a banjo, you don't need to use the mud runner on the first coat, the banjo will leave enough mud to cover the tape real good (it will leave twice the mud as a bazooka if you want it too). If you do it the other way smaller then big, you will have problems picking up trash from the outside edge of the first coat, its not enough to cause any sanding issues, but it will build up on the head and leave grooves in the finish coat. We use a 31/2" or 3"angle head for the first coat (glaze coat) and then a 21/2" or 2" for the finish coat. We run the top angle and the corner up to it at the same time, then "pick" the three-way clean, and the bottom couple inches of the corner at the floor also. We have to pick the corners at the threeway junction at the ceiling by hand. Not sure what you mean by "whip", I supposse you mean what we call "pick" the corners. having to clean off the head like you mention is due to not haveing the mud mix just right, too thick and it won't flow well (hard to twist and takes a couple of passes to get the mud even), too thin and it will over ride the angle head and make a mess. ![]() I'm thinking of buying one, what do you guys think, and how fast do the angle heads where out?Joe. I usually only have to whip the top and bottom part of the angles, but it only worked to put 1 coat, then the 2th coat I put it by hand for better results. My experience with renting the Ames one was that I had to keep a bucket of water next to the mud and pump, and everytime I re-fill I clean the angle head so my angles get a clean coat. Has anyone bought this item, and whoever used this, how did it work?
