I have set up an interior wall (OSB + drywall) with a door to "create" a bedroom out of a former "common room". I have tried to sketch it out below. The new wall is marked in red. What I need to ask about now is when I'm going to putty everything. I plan to use putty, paper tape, and then additional putty where the drywall meets (in the middle above the door frame). But I'm a little unsure about what to do exactly in the extension of the existing wall.
I have "zoomed in" on the area I mean (No. 1). Because if I putty and use a paper tape, it will likely come out too much on the side of the wall that is not chamfered (i.e., existing wall/corner). But at the same time, I prefer not to take my chances and do without the paper tape. I live in a wooden house, so I'm a bit afraid of cracks. I understand that one usually has some kind of corner profile on drywall corners, so an alternative I'm thinking of is if I should try to cut away part of this and thereby create a sort of own chamfering of the existing wall section, making it easier to fill. But it also feels a bit cumbersome and something I should have thought of doing before installing the wall.
Is it tight between the old and new gypsum? If so, I would glue a paper strip with wet room glue. And then putty it out.
If it is not tight, then putty the seam so it is reasonably "even".
