Hello!

I'm considering the best way to reinforce an outside corner on drywall that's 135 degrees. There are no beveled edges in these corners. I've used fiberglass tape on the other seams and plastic corner beads on the 90-degree corners.

Can you use fiberglass tape or maybe paper tape? Or just go crazy with joint compound? How have others done it?

The best joints in our house are indeed those 135-degree ones... they are paper taped, plastered, and painted.
But if you want nice corners even in five years, you put a trim on the outside.
135-degree corner with paper strips, putty, and paint, showing wooden edge next to painted surface, suggested trim for durability. A 135-degree corner in a house, neatly finished with paper tape, plastered, painted, and visible trim for added durability.

I have used this at 90° corners, but it is quite flexible so it should work for 135°

Perfect, that's exactly what I'm looking for!
