Corner Bead Installation Q's
In the drywall stage of my basement. I have a couple of situtations
where two or even three outside edges meet (around the soffit). Do I miter the edges of the metal to meet up flush with each other, or do I leave them square? |

The miter need not be precise. -- Joseph Meehan Dia duit |

The miter need not be precise. How about in the situation above a door way, for example, where an inside corner meets? You have the horizontal piece coming together with a vertical piece. Would you do a "reverse" miter? Where the material on the edge sticks our farther than the corner? |

It'll prevent most cracking at that point. R |

I always like to cut off the bead (hump) and overlap the edge pieces where the nails go. Prevents cracking if the two metal pieces overlap. A grinder takes off the bead. |
