What happens here

To install metal corner bead, first measure the length of the corner where it will be applied using a tape measure. Mark the measured length on the metal corner bead. Use tin snips to cut the metal corner bead to the desired length. Once cut, press the metal corner bead tightly onto the drywall corner.
