What happens here

Take a new piece of square corner metal and hold it against the wall, overlapping the existing, undamaged corner metal by about a quarter of an inch. Use tin snips to cut the new corner metal to the exact length needed for the repair. The cut piece should seamlessly extend from the existing corner bead to the floor.

Goal: Cut a new piece of corner metal to fit the repair area
