Default How Tape Drywall Edges?

Putting drywall up in the garage and there will be some edges that
will be exposed and not flush with other drywall and not in a corner.
What is the best solution as to how to treat these edges? Is there
tape I should put over the ends prior to using a drywall compound on
the seems, or simply paint the edges, etc. ????


Not sure how you got that situation, but a more durable and better approach to
taping would be to use a 1" or 2" wide piece of trim wood that was the same
thickness as the drywall. You could even use 1/4 round if you match the drywall
thickness.
