I am going to build two walls indoors in a corner of a room to create an external corner. On the drywall at this corner, I will attach a corner bead. Questions:

1) Should the drywall panels that are placed at the external corner have a beveled edge, or should it be removed?
2) How is the corner bead attached to the drywall?

Thank you very much for your help!!!!
 
The best option is if you have the facade edge outwards when you want to plaster this corner and want a smooth wall.
 
Yes, it needs to be plastered. The corner protector has a small folded edge to facilitate plastering, but beveled edges outward then...

Only the question of how it will be attached remains.

Here you can see the protector I plan to use...

Many thanks for the help!!!!
There are special pliers that "push" parts of the corner guard into the drywall.
I think it is also possible to attach the guard through the drywall into the underlying stud if you don't have such pliers.
Maybe you can even just fasten the corner guard with spackling?

Do you know where to find such pliers????
 
Such pliers cost a pretty penny!! Attach it with mounting glue instead, such a plier is only useful if you're a professional. Here in town, they probably cost upwards of 1000.
 
It works very well to attach the corner protectors with a quick-drying joint compound like Ardex A828. It is also fine to use a traditional staple gun. The risk with a staple gun is that the staples might rust and bleed through the joint compound paint.
 
Otherwise, you can buy the corner guards at byggmax; then you won't need any tools except for stapling them with a staple gun. Additionally, the byggmax metal corners hold better in the putty.
 
nail with 60mm galvanized wire nail or 41 drywall screw
