The best solution would be to remove the tape completely. Install
an "L" mold on the joint. Mud the L mold to the drywall, paint,
caulk when finished. I prefer the plastic trims by Trim Tex.
Example:

The one with the tear away strip makes it really easy to mud and
paint. L mold is also available in metal beads if desired.

Hi, I have a drywall that butts 90 degrees to a concrete wall
inside
the house. Recently the tape joint must have broken and there
are
small gaps all along the joints where the 2 walls meet.What is
the
best way to fix just gaps? Do we use caulking or putty to fill
up the
gaps and then paint over it?

Thanks
