Corner strip for outer corner on gypsum wall

[kimf]

Has anyone tested these?

They seem convenient, I'm going to drywall some parts today. And it totals 6 outer corners, on things like posts and wall pieces.

Should one do everything possible to get a beveled outer edge on the drywall against the outer corners?
Or can you cheat a bit with a knife to make it look decent?
I have a few places where I have 30-60cm between two outer corners, and it seems unnecessary to use two sheets for these to get a beveled edge against the corners. But maybe it's the only option?

I have used the ones in metal and didn't always put the plaster edge out in the corner for similar reasons as you. It was still easy to smooth out the level difference. I haven't measured how perpendicular the corner became but it looks perfect anyway. I would do what is easiest. The exception might be if a perfectly straight shelf or something that directly reveals an uneven surface is to be mounted.

I have used them, wonderful compared to metal corners. Works well for spackling even if it is not beveled.

Fantastic, the glue might be a bit weak, helped a bit with wallpaper glue and now it sticks like a rock.

There are similar ones but with double-sided tape that are better, easier to work with.

Have used both K-rauta's and Byggmax's corner protectors. Actually, I thought Byggmax's adhesive one was much better than K-rauta's. It's not often Byggmax "wins," but here it was by a mile.

I have also used the adhesive with tape. However, I bought them at Beijer, but they look suspiciously similar to the ones at Byggmax. Very easy to work with. The seller in the building store said that they mostly sell that one nowadays.

Then you should NOT have a facade edge against the outer corner! Cut well or preferably saw the "other" sheet on site!

We used them with double-sided tape, bought at colorama. It wasn't me who did it, but an acquaintance who is a painter. He attached them, filled up with gypsum mortar, then he used some light hand filler afterward, but he "wide filled" quite a bit out on the walls. Then I got the tip to sand down the corners so you could see the plastic corner, otherwise the corners become razor sharp. It's not visible when painted.

Cut well or preferably saw the "other" board in place!

Okay, but it's too late now. I used the beveled part on two outer corners today. I have two more to do tomorrow. I'll do the opposite there. These are just 90x220mm studs for a beam that will be plastered. It wouldn't have been possible to do otherwise there anyway.

Then I think I'll redo one board tomorrow. I didn't saw the "other" one afterwards, so I had to stand and fix it with the drywall knife afterwards. It just turns out bad. Only when I did the door opening (when I did it that way) did I realize how smooth it was.

I'm drywalling for the first time today. So I have a bit to learn, I notice.

Thanks for all the answers!

By the way, I never bought those corners I linked to, pretty stupid. They weren't available at the construction yard where I picked everything else. I was dumb and took some strips to screw in instead because they were next to them. Talked to a carpenter friend later who had used such and said they were crap. Better to use ones you glue/tape instead since screw heads can appear later if you're unlucky (that's what happened to him). I'll switch to those tomorrow instead.
