Drywall corner bead

What happens here

For paper-faced metal corner bead, first ensure the corner bead is cut to the correct length (though cutting is not explicitly shown, it's implied by 'cut to length'). Then, apply a generous amount of drywall mud to both sides of the drywall corner where the bead will be placed. Once the mud is applied, carefully position the paper-faced corner bead onto the corner, pressing it firmly into the wet mud. Use a drywall knife to embed the paper wings into the mud, applying light, even pressure from top to bottom. This process ensures a smooth, fastener-free corner that is seamlessly integrated into the wall surface.

Goal: Embed paper-faced metal corner bead into drywall mud for a smooth finish
