Drywall Corners

Drywall corners are a vital part of any drywall project. There are two types of drywall corners: inside corners and outside corners. Inside corners are where two drywall panels meet and form an inward angle. Outside corners are where a drywall panel meets a trim or molding and forms an outward edge. Knowing what type of corner you have is key to choosing the right products and techniques to get a professional finish.

Corner Finishing Materials

To finish drywall corners you will need:

• Compound (also known as spackling compound)

• Drywall Tape (such as the “Sure Corner” drywall tape)

• Corner Bead (optional)

• Drywall Knife

• Sandpaper

• Drop Cloths

• Ladder or Step Stool

• Safety Goggles

Preparing for Mudding and Taping with Joint Compound

Before mudding and taping drywall corners clear the area around the corners of any furniture or obstacles. Lay down drop cloths to protect the floor and any nearby surfaces from drips or spills. If using powdered compound mix it according to the manufacturer’s instructions. If using pre-mixed compound stir it thoroughly before use to get a smooth consistency. Proper preparation will give you a clean workspace and a better finish.

Taping and Mudding

To tape and mud follow these steps:

1. Apply compound in a thin layer of compound to the corner with a 10-inch drywall knife. Using compound is a must to get a smooth finish.

2. Press the tape into the wet compound, make sure it’s centered in the corner. The drywall mud should be of the right consistency to get a smooth application.

3. Use your 4-inch knife to embed the tape, remove excess compound and air bubbles. A taping knife is a must to get precise edges and prevent compound buildup.

4. Apply additional coats of compound, feather the edges of the compound with each coat.

5. Use a corner trowel to smooth the compound and get a clean corner.

By following these steps and using the “Sure Corner” drywall tape you’ll get a professional finish on your drywall corners.

Pro Tips

To get professional looking results when taping drywall corners you need to pay attention to detail and a few secrets. Here are some secrets to get a seamless finish:

• Use the Right Stuff: Use high quality drywall tape, compound and a drywall knife to get a smooth finish. The right tools will make a big difference in the end result.

• Apply Thin Coats: Apply thin coats of compound, let each coat dry before applying the next. This will prevent excess mud from building up and getting a messy finish.

• Feather the Edges: Use a drywall knife to feather the edges of the compound, apply more pressure to the outer edge of the knife for a smooth finish. This will blend the compound into the drywall seamlessly.

• Corner Trowel: A corner trowel is a specialized tool to smooth out corners. Use it to get a clean corner that looks pro.

• Sand Between Coats: Sanding between coats will get you a smooth finish and prevent bumps and rough spots from forming. This step is key to get a perfect final coat.

• Drop Cloths: Protect your floors and surfaces from dust and debris by using drop cloths. This will make cleanup easier and keep your workspace clean.

By following these tips you’ll get a professional finish on your drywall corners and your home improvement projects will look great.

Pro Techniques for Seamless Corners

For those who want to take their drywall skills to the next level here are some pro techniques for seamless corners:

• Paper-Faced Corner Beads: Paper-faced corner beads combine the benefits of metal corner beads with the ease of paper tape. They are perfect for smooth, durable corners that blend with the drywall surface. Apply with joint compound for a strong finish.

• No-Coat Corner Beads: No-coat corner beads are more flexible and durable, perfect for high traffic areas. Apply with joint compound and adhesive backing for a strong, seamless finish that can withstand wear and tear.

• Curved Corners: Flexible corner beads are great for curved corners but can be a little tricky. Use a flexible corner bead and apply multiple coats of joint compound, use a corner trowel to smooth the compound and get a clean corner. This requires patience and precision but will give you beautifully finished curved corners.
