Is it Compatable with a normal Inside Applicator ( 7" Corner Box ) ?
Does it Leave a Nice Coat on the Internals for applying Paper by Hand ?
What consistency of Finish do you need to use .. ?

.. At the Moment im using a Lambswool internel corner roller and sticking the papertape on by hand but its quite time consuming . I also tried coating the internals with the Butterfly ( Anglehead ) Turned Backwards , This semed to do the job not too ad till i hit a screw head and now its Broke lol.
