Installing OSB and Drywall

[slacker]

I have always just applied a line of latexfog in inner corners.

Question, I did as you described and divided the drywall panels that ended up against the inside corners to avoid filling the corners. However, I watched some videos on YouTube where they still apply paper tape and filler. Is it necessary when you've done as you described, or is it enough to just run a bead of caulk between the drywall panels?

Do what you think is best.
Personally, I fill all corners with filler and fiberglass tape, and it holds and looks good at least.

The first layer of filler I apply to the entire corner. On day 2 I fill one side of the corner, and on day 3 the other side.
Otherwise, I find it quite difficult to achieve a perfect corner.

I've always just used a bead of latex caulk in inner corners.

Has it held up well without cracking?

Absolutely - Was it on studs that you attached OSB + gypsum? If you've placed OSB behind the stud on the continuation of the wall, then it should definitely hold with just a latex sealant.

Studs mean a wall first with OSB, then screw the next wall's first stud into the OSB, so the corner cannot split at all. Like in this picture.

That's how it was before I tore down the old chipboard wall, so now the edge of the OSB board ends at the corner where the stud begins, meaning it doesn't continue.

See images, before and after the second layer, the joint tape bubbles despite being perfectly embedded in the first layer. Thinking if it swells like this, it will probably do the same when painting over the joints? I assume most of it retracts...

That is why I use fiberglass tape.
Can't figure out how to deal with paper tape

Glue the paper strip with wallpaper paste for wet rooms. Our painter did this both because it adheres better and because it dries faster, allowing him to apply the filler earlier.

I plan to respond that you set the tape with too dry putty. Use joint compound and be a bit quick when applying it and it will go brilliantly.

Thank you for all the answers. I have vävlim at home, planning to use it and spackle over afterwards. Removed the bad seam strips before it hardened, leaving a groove to easily glue in a new one.
