Need Help Taping a 3-Way Drywall Corner: Any Good Video Links?

Asked By InquisitivePanda42 On

I'm really struggling with taping a 3-way drywall corner in the ceiling. I can find plenty of videos on finishing corners that are already taped, but I'm specifically looking for guidance on the actual taping process. If anyone has a link to a helpful video or any tips, I'd really appreciate it!

Here's a solid approach: Start by taping one of the upper angles. When you wipe it down, don't begin right in the corner; instead, wipe towards the corner, leaving about 3 inches. Use a 5" drywall knife for better control. Wipe from the corner outward, and again, start a bit away from the corner and gradually move closer. If you're having a tough time, let one corner dry before moving on to the next one. This way, you can focus on each angle without getting overwhelmed!

Thanks for the detailed explanation! I'll definitely try that technique of working slowly into the corner. I keep messing things up because I try to wipe all the way in right away. Really appreciate the tip!
