Vent: I've been cutting my corner bead wrong for like two years

I was helping my buddy on a job in Tempe last week and he just stopped me. He said, 'Why are you cutting that with tin snips? It's making the edge all jagged.' I always thought that was the fastest way. He showed me how to score it with a knife and snap it clean, then just file the burr off. The finish is way smoother and it takes half the time to mud. How many other little things am I probably messing up without knowing?

Half the time to mud" is a stretch? @wyatt_fox68, you really don't see any extra work smoothing out those jagged snip marks?

Honestly, "half the time to mud" is a stretch. Snips are faster for me on site and the mud covers the edge anyway.
