Just realized I've been cutting my corner bead wrong for years

I used to measure and cut each piece to length before nailing, but after a job in Phoenix last month, I saw a guy just run the full strip and slice the excess with a knife. Has anyone else switched to that method?

That Phoenix heat makes people do crazy things. I tried that knife trick once and ended up with a wavy seam that took forever to fix.

Wait, wasn't that trick for cutting tape, not fabric? I think @the_seth might have used the wrong tool for the job. A hot knife is the only thing that really seals those seams clean.
