Installing sheets and filling corners that are not 90 degrees

[BobbyEwing]

I have a couple of places where there are outer corners on the walls (i.e., two walls meet) at an angle of less than 90 degrees. I'm a bit curious about the best way to make these look nice: Starting with the drywall: How should I install them? It seems almost impossible to cut them at an angle so they fit seamlessly against each other. Then regarding spackling: At 90-degree corners, it's usually easiest to use a metal corner bead to achieve this, but it becomes difficult when there are other angles. How should one go about this to get it right?

Hello

Here is a rough sketch of how I do it. The painter then applies a wider type of joint tape over the corner and plasters.

Best regards, Wasa

Yes, there's no good way to handle 45-degree outer corners. Apply tape and spackle twice, then sand, paint, and you'll probably have to spackle again. It's completely useless that there aren't any 45-degree corner beads!

Just as Wasa describes, it works perfectly. At the outermost, corner protectors in metal can be attached. There are "ready-made" ones for a 45-degree angle, and there are metal strips with perforation in the middle to allow bending the strip to the desired angle.

Just as Wasa describes, it works perfectly. For the outermost edge, you can attach corner protectors in metal. There are "ready-made" ones for a 45-degree angle, and there are also metal strips with perforation in the middle to fold the strip to the desired angle.

That it works to do so might not be crucial for Ts. He wants to fix the drywall joint on the outermost layer of drywall. Or do you mean that what you describe is also available for that?

The fact that it works is not crucial for Ts. He wants to fix the drywall joint on the outermost layer of gypsum. Or do you mean there is what you are describing, even for that?

There are certainly corner protectors for 45-degree corners.

Damn, that's great. Now I'm going to inform the entire site that I'm not plastering another 45-degree corner, but this iron. Thanks!

Thanks for the tips. Those tapes with perforation sound good, since I have several corners that aren't 45 degrees either. Where can one buy such Elvis?

Bought mine at Bauhaus. Danogips multiflex tape if I remember correctly. None of the employees had any idea they had it though, so I had to find it myself.

P.s As a () it can be mentioned that the plate in my sketch is tasked with holding the corner together in the event of any movements in the construction. D.s
