The trowel edge thing nobody talks about

I kept wondering why my joints looked sloppy after finishing. Turns out I was running my trowel at the wrong angle on the edge. Saw a guy in Des Moines use a 10 degree tilt and it changed everything. Now my edges are crisp on the first pass. Has anyone else figured out the exact angle that works best for them?

Does the temperature affect that angle for you...?

Read a contractor say 15 degrees is the sweet spot for clean finishes.
