Hi Paul! Do you have any videos or tips for inside corners that are greater than 90 degrees? We have multiple inside corners in our home that are ~135 degrees. They are not crisp, clean lines. They are squiggly, and we’re not sure how to fix. Having trouble finding content around this. Thanks!

[@juliodavid49]

Thank you for this video. I bought the corner tool 15 years ago, tried it a couple of times and gave up. I just did it following your instructions and it came out perfect. Thank you

[@Sindee_gradmom]

I feel so dumb right now, I bought that tool the other day thinking I knew how to use it and boy was I wrong. You just simplified and taught me how to use it correctly. Now I don't have to return it to HD. Thank you so much. Gonna work on some corners today with my new tool lol.

[@openhand7502]

Great vid! Please count my vote for a video on taping/ finiashing an inside corner where three corners converge!

[@louisgholland709]

I believe this easier than using just an 6" for first two coats. An 6" knife alone doesn't spread mud evenly and you want be kind fast so mudd not dry up.

[@andrewcarr2431]

Best example i've seen of using this tool. I tried one when when starting DIY drywall but my application and floating skills were not there. Will give it another go on my next remodel project.

Paul, Could you show your technique for getting into the corner where 2 walls and the ceiling meet? Thanks.

[@PaulPeck]

Hi Rob, Yes I will do that for sure. Thanks for the video suggestion my friend!👍 -Paul

[@jamespolack5205]

Fold your tape, put against wall, and use your blade to cut a 45° corner. Apply mud, consistently with no board showing but mud not thicker than 2mm, apply your tape with 45° corner in the 3 way junction. Use a 4" blade/scraper and from 300mm from 3 way junction, with the angle of blade encouraging mud to flow out from under tape, gently but swiftly run your blade toward the corner, your mud will need to be a little on the sloppy side for cornering. Then 50mm above where you began your run toward corner, start gain going away from corner. Do this gently but with consistent and swift motion, cleaning your blade with every 4-500mm stroke. When top coating, if not skilled with corner trowell, Use a 6" blade, and skim coat 3 adjacent sides, wait til dry, and do the other 3.

[@flamingomtn]

Hey, Paul. Have you done a video on how to deal with the three-way corner where the walls meet? Thanks!

Thanks for the video. We had electrvcial work done which resulted in 1 x 4 foot hole being knocked out of our ceiling and the adjoining wall. It's right next to a window and is blocked by a pipe running up to the ceiling from a radiator. I wish I could say it came out looking even a fraction of how clean your job is, but as long as it holds, I'll be happy :)

Hello - you’re videos have been such a life saver! 1st time home owner, and working on removing wall paper from 2 bathrooms. It’s coming along great - but, for each bathroom there’s about an inch of space between the door and the corner wall which I’m having a hard time reaching (and of course, there was wall paper on it). Can you please advise how would be the best way to get to these small corners? My thumb barley fits in the smaller bathroom. Thanks for your time.

Hi, I have large tape line to repair on an angled ceiling.. this is very helpful! I have a question.. Can you get a smooth enough finish with the mud and trowel alone to avoid sanding? I just got my floors refinished and I’d like to prevent as much dust as possible...Thanks for the helpful video!

[@scottrichard3865]

I believe you requested " drywall tube"... I feel compelled to say this about u tube. There are so many ppl making videos that are disaster in disguise I want to scream. However , when professionals or highly talented diy'ers take time to demonstrate (with a direct to the point audible) it is invaluable to folks that are possibly intimidated by the complexity of doing things right. I probably don't thank the ones that are a huge asset to so many . Thank you for doing just that I also hope you helpful folks get compensated for doing it. I doubt ALOT of pros realize how important it is to include what seems so obvious when they do it for a living. The quick mention of those details with the "why" you do "it" is all it takes.again many thanks Peace 😎

I have 1970's drywall and I'm trying to straighten up some very crooked and bumpy corners. Should I sand the texture off or just apply really thick mud to make it turn out smooth? What primer should I use after that?

[@ryanmacewen511]

Wow, this is how I wish I had used this corner tool. I bought a wall board brand one, and I found the corner was not nearly sharp. Maybe it was just for placing mud, and not finishing (the one I had). It had like a 1/8 radius on the 90 degress corner (1/4 inch round). I'm tempted to whack it into something sharper.

[@shannoncormier2415]

Hi Paul. I have a small bathroom with existing drywall texture (supposed to look like knockdiwn, but it went south :-/). Should I sand off as much texture as possible, skimcoat & start over, or could I apply a couple skimcoat layers & begin anew? Current texture is painted with a satin paint over all-purpose drywall mud.

[@johnbutler1980]

how would you do it if the ceiling was a pop corn one? Also how would you cover after doing the ceiling, wall join with a tap in between like you showed here? wont the new tape, mud stick out on top of the existing, old corner edges?

i have a gap between my drywall and my corner 10mm...what should i fill with

[@stevenhochheimer7283]

After you first coat corners with trowl did you ever try one coat on each side by hand?the reason I ask is the corner trowels I've used are not true 90 s and there's a gap when you put a knife on it side ways ?

[@NSteed100]

Curious how to handle large gaps and what is considered too large of a gap and need to rehang the drywall? Working on a bathroom complete gut and the room is not square so they hung the drywall with an angled gap at the top to an already finished ceiling.

[@ThielTube]

The only reason i dont use a corner tool is that you will always get a small 1/8"- 1/4" radius in the corners. I like to use a 4 inch blade and do each side separate to ensure a crisp 90° corner

[@willweyer7410]

Late reply, but I use a corner tool for some applications, but that is an issue, even if you make a perfect corner

Hi Paul, love your videos! Would you typically run the tape the entire length of the wall or would you break it into manageable sections?

[@shawnstone8924]

As long as you can. Get you a paper tape holder, it's literally the 3rd hand you need. You should go with 1 piece pretty easily. Or attach the tape roll to your belt/loophole with a rag etc

Hi Paul, new subscriber here. I've searched your available videos and haven't found one to address my specific problem. Hope you can help. The tape in upper corners in a few of my rooms (primarily bathrooms) has separated from the ceiling. The total affected area equals approx 60+ linear ft. Is there a "quick fix" to this issue or is removing all tape required? That would involve removing the tape that appears to still be securely attached to the wall section. I hope this has been fairly clear. Can you provide a video covering this type of repair? Please advise & TIA

I see you're using a piece of paper tape as long as your arms can reach. How do you go on to the next piece of tape? Do you make an overlap, putting one over the other?

It seems you and I are the only ones that have ever gone ahead and put a coat of mud on the top part of the corner tape on the first coat. Everyone else doesn't. I've always wondered, why not?
