Hi Jon, if you are using an inside corner bead is it necessary to fill a space in the corner with Durabond to support the bead or is that redundant? Thanks.
Hello Joel,
Totally redundant if the metal corner bead is solidly attached.

I assume you are referring to the paper faced metal beads, square and bull nose for outside corners. I can understand not trusting them when we are so used to full metal and nails or screws to protect the corners -- but the reality is that these beads are slowly taking over the professional market, and not only because they are easier to install, and because bullnose does not exist in a screwed on product -- but because properly applied they stick very well. Notice that there is even a special professional compound applicator hopper and a 4 roller professional tool for production application. They are also easier to remove if you really slam into the wall -- see the video on Avoiding Problems with Metal Corners for more details on that problem.Paper faced metal corners beads will give you a professional job.
Jon.What happened to the Screws in the Corner Studs?This video is not something you want people to see and do, thinking this is a Professional Job.
