Well, if you can see through discs made of melted gravel (quartz sand), then you should be able to see through a disc made of wood chips? 🙄
Ask my wife. She has put up wallpaper made of wood fiber, and the old wallpaper shows through the new one. 🫣

Easy mistake to make the first time, it's not always obvious that you have to cut/break the chamfer.
Reasonable alternatives:
- Place trim over the seam
- Replace the gypsum piece with one where the chamfer is broken
- Just apply a ton of filler and make it smooth

I was talking about my mistake, I should have split 4 sheets in half and put the cut edge in the corners, simply. I had learned a lot after the frigga and garage, so there were fewer errors and mistakes with the house, but there are still some to find there as well.Nissens said:
I don't understand what you mean. Having a cut edge in the corner is never an advantage. You set the studs so they provide support in the corners, then it's advantageous to use these behind the drywall to further stabilize if needed:Mikael_L said:

Then it's advantageous to have the beveled edges of the drywall in the corner and tape them in with a paper tape.
Talk to a painter and you'll hear. But are you saying they don't know what they're doing? 😂 I’ve done it without any problem. If you’d seen the paper strips, you’d know they’re even prepared to be used in corners. You don’t have to have it chamfered, but it's easier to get it even since the strip doesn’t build on top then.nino said:
TS has already been made a fool of 40 times in this thread. Do you think your contribution helps and motivates TS to continue wanting to learn how to renovate?D Derbyboy said:
All the painters I've worked with, both as a painting "apprentice" and later when I had my own business (not as a painter), have cursed carpenters who set the bevel in corners. The strip is plastered out to zero.Nissens said:
