Great tips. Almost every metal corner in my house has cracked along the seam from the ceiling to the floor. The house is 30 years old and the joints started cracking after about 10 years. They didn't use tape on top of the metal corner. I'll be repairing every one using your method. I'm a little nervous about how they will look because I'm not a pro but I'm going to give it a shot. I can at least do as well as the original builder if I follow your instructions. Thank you.
Aim High. Retired as Master Sergeant 23 years ago and now about to complete 23 year retirement from current IT management job. I own 4 houses so do as much of my own repairs as possible so always looking to learn new stuff. I'll be checking out your other videos for some good ideas.
Thanks for your service!
I've watched a lot of your videos & I can say you know what you're talking about. Myself, I've been retired from doing drywall after 40 years since 2011. By watching your videos, it brings back a lot of memories of how I finished drywall which is exactly the same way. Favor: Please keep it up with showing novices how to go about finishing drywall. Take care, Phil Anderson-So. Indiana P.S. Nice presentations!
Thanks Phil, I appreciate that and I will.
I was able to repair a corner bead after watching your videos. Will have more to do I’m sure. Really appreciate your instructions on how do drywall properly. Learning a ton. A lot more to do while I renovate our home. Keep those videos coming. I know we have a lot more to learn.
New homeowner here and really loving your videos! I am the “DIWife” around here and although I have grown up doing little basic things, have no idea about fixing drywall, etc. but really enjoying learning. Have a huge crack in an outer corner of the bonus room ceiling to contend with and this video is just what I needed! I’ll let you know how it goes!
Cool. Definitely let me know.
You are obviously an expert, and thank you for taking the time to teach your technique on this video.
Thanks for this tutorial. I’m renovating a rental property, and having a friend help me with everything that’s within our skill sets, to avoid paying contractors, particularly right now while inflation is through the roof and materials are so expensive. I’ve done minor drywall repairs in the past, and this taught me some new tricks.
That's exactly the right way to do it. Mr kilt guy. I've been doing drywall for 16 years. Even on new work or repair work I do it the same way and I always always take my corner bead. And I've seen over the years I'd never cracks. My brother taught me everything there was about sheetrock. And one of the bad areas in homes were cracks is on tray ceilings. But if drywall finishers would do it right and tape all their corner bead that would never be a problem 👍👍💪💪. I always enjoy watching your videos you are the real deal
Thanks, I appreciate that 😎, & Thanks for subscribing!
Thanks for taking the time to make this video and for sharing your years of knowledge and experience. I don't usually watch videos all the way through, but found it well worth the time. Hittin that subscribe.
Thanks, glad I could help.
I now secure Corner beads with pneumatic quarter inch crown staples 2in long it works beautiful
Thank you for this tutorial! I did this repair in 4 spots of my main living room and they all look fantastic.
Awesome 👏
Thank you. I am about to tackle a few corners. I don’t have textured walls so I’m a bit nervous to get it smooth, but I’ll give it my best shot
That answers the question I had in another video of yours regarding difference in blue box vs green box textures! Thank you! Love your channel!
Thanks, I appreciate that 😎, & Thanks for subscribing!
Thanks a lot. A lot of great tips. Especially the sawing motion on the corner when you're clearing the opposite side. I've had problems with that and it was because I was pushing back over like you said.
Glad it was helpful!
I have a long stretch on an outside corner that runs along my ceiling where it steps from 8' to 9' that looks exactly like this. It cracked along the edge of the metal, and pulled completely away from the ends. I'm going to be using this technique to repair it soon. Thanks so much for this video, it was exactly what I was looking for!
Thanks, glad I could help you out 😎. And thanks for subscribing!
that slicing motion for cleaning the edge is great, never thought of that. just did some corners yesterday and figured i'd just have to sand it. lol
Exactly what I need to do. But I know you drywall guys make it look way easier than it is!
True
You are simply the best
I have learned so much from you
Thanks for sharing your knowledge and wisdom and patience
All the best
Stay well
Very helpful! Had a problem with cracks in ceiling corners. Excellent tutorials! Also retired Air Force, aim high!

Excellent work and instructions. Thanks!
You’re welcome
Thanks again for the video, I’m going to have a crack at this pretty soon.
Have a crack at it? Good one, lol. Good luck.
Great video! I honestly can’t believe we’re still using mud like this for things in 2022 with no alternative to finish corners. I’ve totally lost faith in the fact that we may ever have flying cars, when we are still mudding our houses like the Pueblo Indians did nearly almost 1000 years ago. Oh well, at least we have social media/TikTok right??
Thanks for another great (new to me) video. Hope you are doing well.
Had a leak in the bathroom upstairs in the townhouse I own and put in a new bathtub and flooring put in. Now we're painting and come across the leak which left damage on the ceiling and the corner beads around the top of the cupboards which brought me to this video.
Thanks! This was very helpful!
Glad it was helpful!
Excellent video
Im looking at the 2 outside conners it is plain as day the center dips in.
It was never dont right.
My kids father in law used to put a conner molding on conners like that made out of wood 4' up with a top ornament on them they look really good and protect the conners. Adds some detail to a home.
Great video! Thank you sir
Thank you!
Thanks and Happy New Year to all three of you all.
Thanks. Happy new year to you as well. Take care, Guy
And it took me a minute to realize who the 3rd person was, lol. Ebony kitty says hi.
Fast set can be your best friend if you know what your doing. I love the 5 and 20 minute. 5 and 20 minute if you have the skills, you can wet sponge it when it's hard, not fully cured and smooth it like glass simular to working plaster. We always used that tape on all cornerbead on new construction. What's your preference on setting cornerbead. I prefer nails or screws, you just have to be carefull to set them right and not screw up the bead. Bead that has been set with a bead setter in my experience cracks easier in the future. But a bead setter is quicker.
Have you ever scraped the edges off your hot mud once it sets up? (in the middle of your mud, as in your lap marks) I like it much better than a sponge. And I fan dry the edges for a few minutes and I can dry sand them. I've messed with wet sanding many times and don't like the way it comes out.
Cornerbead, I use staples, but a lot of them. I've never had a problem with it. The clinch on bead setter is just for initial fastening, not to be used alone. Assuming you're talking about this item - amzn.to/2CZkDq9
A tip if the house doesn't have a metal corner bead, leave the corner inch till last and mix bond with cement 1:1 and one good run will leave you with a perfect corner that's tough enough to take a good whack from a gormless labourer bumping it with a ladder
When I first started doing drywall back in the 70s, I was taught to run tape on both sides to cover the seam between the cornerbead and the the wall itself to prevent cracking. I don’t know if it worked or not because I never went back to check. But I do know that every time I’ve repaired cornerbead cracks since, the cornerbeads weren’t taped.
we used to do that sometimes, but truth is, I have seen corner bead with mesh tape on it crack. I now only use tape on corner bead because it solves the whole problem.
The biggest problem I find with cracked corners is that they usually haven't been taped when they were installed.
Nice job cant even see it was damaged to begin with it looks better then it did when it was originally done the center didn't have a dip in it anymore like it did.
Or am I right it had a dip right?
Can you show how to fix loose tape around the ceiling to wall joints
I'm new to this and i really admire your work and video
Actually, what you do is just peel off any loose tape, then re-tape it like normal. I have a video on how to tape inside corners at: ruclips.net/video/apjLoG62-3k/видео.html
If you get a nice new clean sanding block and cut two corners off the flat side, it helps with the “gouging”. Cheaper than buying a pole, sand paper and head!
My new coach
Thanks, glad I could help.
Thanks. I'm a Painter and there's a cornerbead cracked. I was trying to decide between mesh tape or the fibafuse, which I haven't used before.
Fibafuse is thinner, so is great for that.
Great content. Thanks for your videos. Question - I noticed that you prefilled, set the tape and then did a first coat of hot mud all in the same go. Is it not necessary to let the mud set between steps?
With hot mud you’re not worried about letting it dry up so yes you can do more steps in one. Normally you let regular joint compound dry thoroughly partly because it will shrink the whole time but hot mud doesn’t shrink
Any tips for stucco corner PVC repair
Very helpful...I suppose I should use plastic corner bed just outside a shower and perhaps a different type of mud because of the humidity in a bath. ?
Well, rusty cornerbead in high humidity areas does happen and plastic would be less likely to rust. I have very little experience with plastic bead honestly as I just dont find it strong enough. But in a bathroom the first thing is I believe ALL bathroom with an actual shower or tub should have an adequate fan. I'm in a rental currently and it has no fan and the paint is cracking, crazing and just not doing well from the high humidity. We shower with the door open, but I'm sure many in the past haven't. And I've fixed LOTS of mold in bathrooms without a good fan. So with a good fan, you shouldn't need to worry about it. As for mud, I think they will all absorb moisture so none are better for that. But I would suggest a high quality primer and 2 coats of semi gloss paint as it resists moisture better.
Perfect 👍
Hi Rx Lo10, thank you for commenting! I truly appreciate you taking the time to say hi, thanks or ask questions. I hope to hear from you again! 😎🦶🏼
do you have a video where you fixed a flooded baseman and removed 2 or 3 ft dry wall and insulation ? I like to see how is done.
I don’t think I’ve released one of those yet
This is exactly the job I need to do! Thank you for the great video! One question: The metal corner bead I'm fixing has a little play to it. If I hold down one spot with my finger, I can still get it to wiggle a bit with my other hand a couple inches above or below. I guess this is why it's cracking and I want to screw it down solid. You showed putting in a drywall screw. If you need more than one, how close together can/should they be? I feel like going crazy with them - like every five inches - to make it really solid, but maybe that's overkill?
That’s fine
we need a video on how to do rounded corners in a remodel
good video from a first timer with corner bead. My question is similar to nail pops, I am finding places along outside corner in basement stairwell. Scraping reveals these are places where the original build nail securing the bead at the edge either was secured too tight causing divet in the metal or maybe divet depression in the metal came about over 28 yrs with expanding drywall due to higher moister content....... either way , I never find good videos to how to trouble shoot with depressions in the bead. will fresh mud last at least another 10 years, or should I use mesh tape along the edge including over the depressions. or do I have to cut the whole bead and put a clean 5 foot piece in? thx ie. many bumps of the mud along the corner bead spaced out approx 6 to 8 inches; first area scraped revealed anchor nail at edge producing divet or pitting in the bead metal.
Hey, I appreciate the detailed description but I’m having a hard time picturing it. If you want to send me a picture you can find my email in the about section of my channel and I will try and help you further. Thanks, Guy
OMG! The bay window you displayed in this video is exactly the project we are working on. What type of corner bead do we use for the not 90 degree angle going into the bay? Please do tell....
Hello Vincent Kohl. This is the product I use for corners that are not a 90 degree angle, and this is the best stuff out there. amzn.to/31dgpov
Do you have a video on going from bullnose to square corner?
Not yet but ill keep that in mind. Thanks
Thanks for the videos.. very informative. And also THANK you for your service!
Thank you!

Have Vertigo too
SUXS, Have to do the lean back Head movements over a table.
What I have now is a Teeter Inversions table to get in so it's fast and easy to get back to work.
Thats if your at home mind you....If you suffer from Vertigo while doing your projects on the road
I would bring the Inversion Table with you in your Trailer. Saved me many times.
People think your Drunk then have to explain whats up...:)
Mines caused by a virus that got into my inner ear and did 40% nerve damage. It never goes away, but my brain adapted so it's about 90% better, but I still stagger often, although most people don't notice. Bid a job for a sheriff recently and had to tell him I had this, and wasn't drunk since I was staggering, so he hire me, lol.
So sorry to hear that it was a VIRUS.
Hard to let folks know what Vertigo is about.
My first time I had it I was fast asleep, woke up in a PANIC not knowing what was going on. Room was spinning out of control and I barely made it out of bed yelling for my wife. She was at work! UGH! Had to find my way to turn on all the lights and make my way to a phone. My Head was spinning out of control.
Now that I know what it is I know what to do.
Vertigo is so freighting to go through. glad we can make folks aware of what is going on.
Mine was so severe that I couldn’t even crawl. I couldn’t reach my phone that was 3 feet away. It’s terrible crap
Don’t sound like no kilted guy I ever knew! But, being an ex Buff guy, I can’t complain!
This is great! Exactly what I needed. I do have a section where the metal is not secured. Is there a specific screw type and length that you think works best for going directly through the metal?
1 1/4” drywall screws
@@ThatKiltedGuyDIY there was only one staple every ~18" so the corner bead was very loose. Starting the prep now and am excited to have my walls fixed!
The repair turned out great!! I have done a lot of painting and some basic crack/hole repairs, but this was my first time working with cornerbead. Thank you for the awesome videos!
I'm new at this. Do put on mud first then tape over the mud? Then more mud on top?
Watch many more videos
How would I fix this in a bathroom and the metal has started to rust? It doesnt have to be permanent. Just until I can remodel in a few years. TY
Scrape off loose mud, and repair it
I’ve got a short length cracked in the middle that I’ve dug out, I understand the idea that you feather it out away from the corner. What I don’t understand is how to feather out the top and bottom where the corner didn’t crack.
You should be able to just sand those down if you didn't leave them real thick. Let me know if that answered it. Thanks, Guy
That Kilted Guy DIY Home Improvement I haven’t started them yet. Should I just feather out the top and bottom of the bead repair the way it’s done feathering out to the side?
I usually do it with just more pressure at the ends. Feathering works best on sides than on ends.
Hey there Guy, I do a lot of these type of repairs in my area as well. Judging from the discoloration that the corner bead has in your video. It's the same for me . The joint compound loses it adhesion and just pops off of the metal bead. It's like the metal corner bead oxidizes either from a manufacturing defect or a thermal situation and the mechanical bond is breached... Thought's? Ps. I added you to the featured channels section of my RUclips Home Page. Keep creating these awesome videos my friend!
👍 -Paul
Hey Paul, yeah I think there’s several things going on. One, mud just doesn’t like to stick to metal, and the other issues you talked about are probably right on. Plus I think sometimes finishers don’t pay attention to the instructions on mud boxes because some like Topping mud says it’s not for use on the first coat of corner bead. And then finally, because it’s a corner it’s more subject to being banged up carrying furniture past it, etc.
And I will be glad to add you to my featured section also. Thanks and will talk to you later. Guy
@@ThatKiltedGuyDIY Yes. I'm sure being an outside corner in a traffic area doesn't help. A lot of my repairs are every single outside corner including widow returns that are oxidized. It's usually older corner bead that seams to be more of a galvanized type of metal compared to the shiny metal corner bead that's on the market today. Thanks for for adding me to your Featured channels list! -Paul
Had a terrible vertigo day yesterday so didn’t get your channel added yet but I will. Thanks, Guy
Ok, finally got your channel added to my featured channels list. Thanks again.
@@ThatKiltedGuyDIY Sorry to hear that Guy. I hope you're feeling better. Thanks for the add man! -Paul
What about using the fibafuse max? Have you tried it?
It’s a little thick but very strong. Best for tough cracks or something
Hi there. I enjoy the context you put out. It’s very useful! Thank you!
I’ve seen a lot of videos on how to repair dents or cracked square corners but can’t seem to find any regarding bullnose. I’m buying a house and there are a couple of bullnose corners that are dented. I was thinking of preparing the area: sanding, scraping lose bits, and filling it with a nonshrinking spackle like DAP DryDex or equivalent. What are your thoughts?
Good plan but it might take a 2nd thin coat.
@@ThatKiltedGuyDIY Thank you for the quick response! So would you recommend a think coat of the same spackle or a joint compound of some sort?
The same, & 2 coats of paint and primer
@@ThatKiltedGuyDIY perfect! Thanks again! I’ll keep you posted and take some before and after photos of the completed process, if we purchase the house.
Cool. If you do that, be sure and extended each coat of paint or primer slightly so they don’t build an edge.
I have mold in my mud, is it ok to drop a little bleach in the water when thinning?
I’d toss the moldy part and then use it. A small amount of bleach is ok
Newb-ish question:
Why did you use Quickset Mud first for that fiba "tape" as opposed to using All Purpose first... and then Quickset next?
Is this type of scenario not considered taping? I've heard that All Purpose is better to be used for taping, but maybe this isn't the case for this type of situation?
I have to do something similar... and was under the impression that I should use All Purpose first so my tape would stick better to the bead + wall.... and followed up with Quickset after it dries.
I appreciate all of your videos and advice!!! Awesome stuff!!!! Thanks so much!!!!
When talking about non-setting mud, yes regular all purpose is best. But setting mud has excellent adhesion also and it allows you to put two coats of mud on quickly with less shrinkage.
Thanks this plastic corner bead is popular in texas. l went to work on it today. My question is why does it fail? Hung alot of vinyl siding back in the day and my guess is hot and cold expansion contraction. l guess the installers glue that bead on. l hung board back in the day but never finished a house tape and bed. lm very good at repair work but you know way more than me. Also on alot of repairs l pull the tape and there are voids in the corners or at the peak af the ceiling. Were the tapers suppossed to prefill all these voids when the house was built? l owe you a apology for my rude comment to a vewer. Sorry u had to delete it. You have to be very patient to the weekend warriors. You do a great job and some vewers dont appreciate you. l just taped skimed and texured the hairline cracks on the corner bead. Hope it doesnt come back to haunt me. Thankyou James
What type of sand paper grade did you use after you let the quickset hot mud 45 dry on your dry wall sanding pole?
Since hot mud Sands harder I usually use 80 grit, but on USG +3 I use 80 grit if I need to be aggressive but I use 120 or fine for the final sanding
What if I use just the light weight stuff for everything?
As long as you don’t need to put it on deep, it will work
Probably my biggest issue with metal corner beads is that over time they rust and the mud can literally pop right off.
You are right, they can rust. I’ve worked on a lot of them and I can tell you they don’t always rust. I think homes with swamp coolers and high humidity areas will see more rust as the drywall mud will likely absorb some of the moisture.
Have you tried any other type of corner bead such as the plastic bead?
@@ThatKiltedGuyDIY Is it best to cut out rusty sections of a corner bead? Other alternatives?
@@korngable if it’s lightly Rusty, you don’t need to cut it out. If it’s affecting the structural integrity of the corner bead, then definitely. I prefer tape on the corner bead and did a video about that a few months back
@@ThatKiltedGuyDIY It is near a shower stall. Sheet rock softened, maybe 8-10 inches. Some rust, but still pretty sturdy metal. May try to replace rock and retape section. Thanks.
Hey kilted guy! Got a bunch of repairs next week. All the corner bead is vynil with nailig flanges on both sides. The hair line cracks are just on one side of the flange. On almost every corner all the way from bottom to top. Cant l just tape it and texture? Your opinion please. Thanks James
If it’s just hairline cracks, yes. If any corner bead has come loose I would resecure with nails. And then I would tape it.
would it be that much more time if you removed the corner bead and replaced it with a new one?
Yes
As a contractor how much would you charge to do this repair ? Material and labor? Thanks in advance
I’ll be teaching that in my www.DrywallAcademy.com
so outside corners doest need to have those plastic or metal thing and plain paper is ok?
No it has to have a plastic or metal corner. The one in this example still had the metal corner, but the mud had chipped off of it and I fixed it by putting the fibafuse down the side of it and re-coating it. How that helps.
What if the corner bead had been banged and dented? Can it be covered, or does the entire piece need replaced? Do you have a video for this situation that I missed?
If it’s minor you might can tap it back straight enough to recoat it otherwise you usually have to cut the corner bead off and replace it in that bad section.

Why not use the mud in tape? I love using that stuff
Have a corner bead repair but can’t find a stud behind it. The nail goes right through the drywall. Using 1 1/4 “ ring nails. How to I secure the corner bead ?
Tape on bead
Hi Carla your Hasban is ready the best
I need to repair a corner bead in a garage... it is too damaged to reuse... about 3' of it is too damaged.... is there a video of replacing one?
I don’t have that video out yet, sorry. But you can just cut out the damaged section with a hacksaw and replace it with some new corner bead.
We have a damaged corner, my son in law ran his wheelchair into many of the corners in the house. The one in my room no longer has a corner bead and damage about three inches deep. Have to cut the drywall to repair?

Stop poppin wheelies in the house. 🤣
👍
I wish you lived in my area my house you’d find enough projects to do a years worth of videos or more
Kristy Allen lol. That sounds like a lot for sure. Well I’m in Colorado, so....
I popped off the loose drywall and to my horror there is a really bent warped part and as a first timer now I have no clue as to how or what I should do to fix it
Usually best to cut that part out with a hack saw and replace. Use tape on bead to replace it. See my best corner bead video for how to apply it.

Can I had a bit of water in the drydex? I just have small bead and ppl have paint over corners that is not really finish nice, it’s like my paste is to thick and can’t to a nice finish corner , not even on one side 😫 my dogs are laughing at me right now
🐈, lol. Well, I don't use drydex but you should be able to just fine. We add water to our mud most of the time if it's too thick.
What about when it pops off a bit? Same fix?
Well, re-secure it with nails or screws first. Then fill in the areas with missing mud like this video.
What a cute couple! And...thanx for the info!
Thank you!
Nice hat 🇺🇲
Thanks 😊

I didn't know joe Biden did dry wall....thanks for your help
Answer this please, why do ALL videos showing mudding of any type use so much product? You wind up taking off 80% of what you make. Why not just make 30% of whey you normally do and cut down on the waste?
I have no idea what you mean. You must put it on heavier than you need and wipe it down to the correct profile. No way to put it on perfect, unless you use a mud box designed for this, which run nearly $700 for the box, handle and pump. I've done this for over 35 years, and all drywallers do it this way, so I guess that's why all videos show it that way. Not trying to be rude, just factual, so hope that helped.
PS: I don't take off nearly 80% of what I put on, more like 20-30%.
You look like Joe Biden
That is such an insult to someone who served the country and compared him to someone who betrayed the country.
Haven't seen That Kilted Guy fall asleep, trip & fall, or touch little girls 😂
Boring
lol i’ll do one later where I fall off the ladder and splatter mud all over somebody’s furniture or something so you’ll be entertained
