Hello,
I'm going to install drywall in a new space currently clad with OSB.
I was wondering how the drywall should meet at the interior corners.
Initially, I thought about keeping the "taping edge" so the boards meet with these in the corner.
Of course, this uses a lot of joint compound in the corner, but you should be able to nicely press in a paper tape and smooth it over.
But then I saw these two videos:
Here, it seems they don't keep the "taping edge."
What would you say is best for a visible inner corner?
If the corner won't be visible, like if it's clad with tiles, does it make a difference?
Grateful for any advice.
Best regards,
Fredrik

I was wondering the same thing when I was putting up drywall and concluded that you should avoid having the spackling edge in the corner. It's difficult to fill in nicely. Furthermore, the corner is often not perfectly straight (even in new houses), and it's easier to get a tight corner with a cut side because you can rasp until it's practically completely tight. I also think it's better that if the board becomes too narrow, you leave the gap for the next board instead of in the corner because between the boards you will anyway have to fill in with more spackling.
It shouldn't matter what comes afterward. Tiles are probably more forgiving since you're going to have adhesive on the boards that can hide irregularities in the corner.

If you're going to cover the corner with fix and then tiles, I wouldn't care at all about how the corner turns out (nor spackle either the corner or the middle).
