If the drywall is all hung, you do not need the j mold, you can
take it back. It would have to have been used before the rock
was hung. Do you have a place where the drywall butts up against
something (a concrete wall, a steel column, window jambs, etc.)?
L mold works in the same conditions that require j mold, but can
be applied after the board is hung. If you can handle all edges
with tape, corner bead, and/or caulk you won't need the L mold.
It helps to make a clean, straight transition from one material to
another -caulked or not

Many times it is better to have a few things to take back than to
wish you had or need to go to the store to get.

A carpenter friend of mine just graciously helped me drywall two
rooms in my basement. He is a very busy man and so I don't want
to take up any more of his time than I already have. He had me
purchase some materials for handling the corners:



10' tear-away L bead vinyl #VLZL - 5 each

10' X 1 1/4" metal corner bead #CBCO - 10 each

8' X ½" metal j-bead #M401 - 6 each



I'm pretty sure I know what the metal corner bead is used for,
but what are the other materials for? (windows, etc.?)



Also, any other tips on using these materials/installing corner
beads?



Thanks,



Wes
