How To Fix A Bent Corner On A Wall. DIY DRYWALL REPAIRS.

What happens here

Take a new piece of square corner metal, also known as corner bead, and measure it against the opening on the wall. Using tin snips, cut the new metal to the required length, ensuring an overlap of approximately a quarter inch with the existing, undamaged corner metal at the top and bottom of the repair area. This overlap helps create a stronger, more seamless transition.

Goal: Prepare a new piece of corner metal for installation

actually using this metal. Now I'm just going to measure out piece of metal I need here and where I need to cut it. Just wanted to overlap my previous piece of metal by about a/4 of an inch.
