Fixing the corner is necessary to improve the window stile perimeter and to protect the slopes from accidental physical impacts. The corner is fastened either on the starting putty or on gypsum plaster. After it dries you can start applying the putty mass.

You shouldn’t torture yourself and try to achieve high surface quality after applying the first layer of material. It performs several other functions, more precisely serves as preparation for high-quality further finishing.

After 3-4 hours you can re-paint the slope using a roller with a natural bristle of medium length, having previously rolled it out in the painting bath.
