One tip I learned from another guild member that works every time for me is that when you fold your corners (for the mitre) make sure that your backing mitre is folded in the opposite direction from the front mitre.

If the front mitre folds to the left, the back mitre should fold to the right.

I hope I'm expressing this clearly!
