I am chuckling as I'm watching this before trying corners...I thought I was "removing old caulk" before re-caulking corners in the house my parents left me. As I ran my knife along one corner, I thought, "Gee, that sounds kind of like paper...." and it sure didn't feel like pulling off a bead of caulk. Now I am learning to tape a corner. LOL. It's going much smoother than I thought it would since I can watch these videos. I'm still sort of amazed at how much material you have to put on your knife to get a good coating. Thanks for your virtual help.

They can feel what level feels like without having to step back and look. A lot of its repetition. But every person has a talent. Maybe those people have a feel for things with their hands than others. For instance maybe you could feel your corners more, and feathered your mud correctly the first time. While I know some of my friends have to coat their mud 5/6x because they couldn’t feel that their corners weren’t square. Know what I mean homie? Hope this clarifies it for ya

You also can’t forget all knives come with a very slight ark or cupped. If you eyeball your knife you will see an ark in the blade, this is important. After you get the tape in the mud, then look down your knife and make sure you have the ark in the right direction. The ark should be pointing towards the wall with the corners of the knife winged up off the wall as you pass down the tape pressing it into the mud. Now, when you are coating tape say on the center bands of your drywall joint when you’re putting the finish coat over the tape after you embedded it, you put the mud inside the ark so the knife is cupping the wall or tape center with the mud cupped in the knife, then, after you spread that mud, flip your knife with the corners of the knife winged out away from the wall and feather the mud top and bottom or right and left of the tape. Yes, knives come with arks in them, especially the bigger knives. If you run the knife with the corners cupped out while imbedded the tape, the corners won’t dig into the tape. Just thought I’d throw that out there for people who may not know. You can also over time keep bending your knife on the corners against the floor or workbench to increase the ark if you prefer. It’s tempered steel so it flexes back but will bend over time. The ark is very slight, almost hard to see but it’s there and can be a big help.

In addition to not having sharp corners on your knife, I've found it sometimes helpful to angle the handle of the knife slightly in toward the corner (versus pointing straight up or down) which relieves some of the pressure of the corner of the blade against the seam of the paper. I know... hard to describe.

There are three types of people in this world. Those who can count, and those who can't. Some of us fall in the latter group.

What about the mistake when you get metal corner bead and try to use it for an inside corner and then when it doesn’t lay flat you put in about 5000 nails and then try to mud the absolute crap out of it to hide it and then eventually realize you have to pull it out? Is that not a common newbie mistake? Asking for a friend.

You clearly should put your tools down and call a professional.

I was just considering doing that. Thanks for the heads up. 🤣🤣🤣

@@SpeshulFX You should almost NEVER call a "professional" if you have the capability to do it yourself. Why? Because of the cost. LEARN to do it yourself and not only improve yourself, you also buy the tools and LEARN which is very important in life. A lot of "professionals" make money by taking shortcuts that you would never take on your own home. The main reason to call a "professional" is laziness. Stand up. Face that stupid wall and tell it who is boss. The guy with the money and the tools.

Fantastic, thank you! I'm doing a slightly different job to drywall mudding but the good principles here carry across. I ripped out an old built-in cabinet in an apartment and found raw fab concrete behind, so all the plastering on top finished at the built-in. Nice. So now I have 1,0m x 0,5m floor to ceiling to plaster out including an internal corner that I need to square up. I feel much more directed in my approach now. Cheers!

Use Perfect 90 type product on all inside corners. Much better short and long term and you can do both sides at the same time without issue.

Thank you that really helped with the corners I was not sure how to get it right. I used to do drywall back in 1997, lived in Abbotsford and drove to Vancouver every day. I just taped and did the closet and window returns and never learned how to bead or fill.
