I'm renovating and installing drywall. I've acquired L-profiles "LP50" that I'm placing in the inner corners. Anyone have tips on how to attach them? So far, I've just placed the profile in the corner and then screwed through the drywall and metal at the same time. This works okay, but I find that the profile easily comes out a few millimeters from the corner, and then it doesn't become completely smooth when installing the next drywall sheet.
Are there easier ways?
Screw the metal alone before the drywall?
Glue?
All tips welcome.

There are studs behind, but from what I understand from the forum (correct me if I'm wrong), LP50 profiles are used to get a stable and straight corner that moves minimally with moisture/seasons and thereby minimizes the risk of cracks, etc. Not because studs are missing.
I usually do the same as you, writing with the plaster, but it is important that the plaster is quite tight to avoid the problem you have. On a few occasions, I've nailed it in place before with a nail gun.
