I've wanted a tool for NoCoat for many years. It's great that Columbia finally made one and got it right the first time. Doing them by hand works but nothing beats the Corner Cobra for efficiency.
I have yet to try my corner cobra, my only concern is using this on bad framing as it would just follow the board. Every job I do bulk heads are never straight, therefore I'm tweaking beads almost every job and I'm talking brand new homes too. People just don't care to frame them properly anymore. Wood is also warped.
I think you would be pleasantly surprised at how nice the Corner Cobra works. Put it to use and find out. Your bulkhead or off angle would have to be extremely askew for it not to work properly. I have never come across anything that bad. If it was I would have had it fixed.
Good video! I might have to get one...boarding a house with a top floor that follows the roof line, hips and valleys in every room 😬 Curious whats the benefit of using nocoat for 90's?
Thank you ! It will definitely help you with off angles. NoCoat has a very crisp corner on a 90 which gives a great look and you can cut the rolls to any length you need. Two in this video were 171-1/8" long and two were 112". My longest ever pieces were two 90ft long and two 30ft long on a store bulkhead. Was easier to keep a nice straight line without joints.
You'll like it. If you're only doing NoCoat with it get yourself a set of wheels made for it. The standard wheels are good for other beads but not so great for NoCoat. I only use my Cobra for NoCoat. I have other rollers I use for regular bead.
thanks for the vid... doing my first house last week and i have learned a lot of you so thanks! loving the no coat... dont have a cobra so lots pressure... its a barn house, tons of angles... should have got that cobra :)
Are you using a tube to load mud with ? If not, keep your mud as loose as possible without it running down the wall which will make it easier to wipe flat.
@@mdmd-mf3bg Lol. It takes a little practice. Don't push too hard on the drywall with the tube while loading. You want to feel the head "floating" on the mud is how I describe it.Pushing will make it messy because it causes you to instinctively push harder on the handle causing you to apply too much mud. Main thing is mud consistency.
@@Mudslingr i think half my problem is im using a 'Better then ever' flat apllicator on a Columbia tube and the head is super stiff... doesnt want to move with the wall... and im still working on mud consistency. its hard to get that perfect.... im usally to thick because when i wet it, i get the mud to wet and i wear most of the mud home :)
@@mdmd-mf3bg I can't speak for any of those brands because I have a canam tube and heads but if yours are new they do need to be broken in. Being tight is normal when they are new. Make your mud like pancake batter. It a matter of speed and handle pressure. The slower you move the tube the messier it will be.

Nothing wrong with bead. Although I only use Trim-Tex beads when I do .I prefer to fit full runs with NoCoat when a full bead won't. And you use less mud with NoCoat.
I so want one ....one of these days. Sure did a nice crisp job. Always enjoy your videos

Yeah that’s looking good
Definitely need to get that corner cobra
Those are awesome tools!
i will get one, thanks
Very nice tool to have and use. You won't be disappointed.
@@Mudslingr the nice thing about it is that you can use on the inside corners as well
@@simonrizk4451 I use it mainly for inside angles. On outside angles I always use Trim-Tex beads

Ordered one . Been waiting long enough

@@Mudslingr I've never used no coat before actually. Ain't no 90s in the homes I work in. More like 80s and 100 degree angles.
@@Mudslingr I see the no coat wheel kit you speak of. Very cool.
@@oukastoukast Good to hear you got one. And if you get the NoCoat wheels you're set
When I got my cobra it came with two sets of wheel, back when they first came out.

@@Mudslingr im working on getting better with the tube and flat applicator... im pretty messy lol!

the first time Im seeing it being done without ext corner app, awesome! r u still on dwt btw?
It works really well coating off angles for NoCoat also. I have not been on DWT in years. What was your nickname there ?

@@Mudslingr precisely some more reading is what I was looking for 😀 thank u 👍! really nice to come across someone with skills from a good while ago!
@@davidcorrea3225 I appreciate your kind words. Watch out for the Hand Finishers ! It's a feisty group of individuals.
Just use paper beads on outside corners apply compound with bead box and regular bead roller piece work boys

Messy floor
The trade off is worth it. Only takes a few seconds to scrape it up.
