How to Make Round Drywall Corners
- 1). Measure the height of your wall at the corner you will be finishing. Cut the drywall bullnose corner bead to the appropriate length using scissors or metal shears.
- 2). Hold the corner bead in place to ensure that it fits properly. Using the staple gun, secure the corner bead to the corner.
- 3). The corner portion of the bead is raised above the edges. When securing the corner bead to the wall, make certain that the ridge is raised, so that you will have a depth to fill with compound.
- 4). Using a 6-inch drywall taping knife, apply drywall joint compound to the corner bead. Allow the compound to dry, and sand with a sanding sponge until smooth.
- 5). Using an 8-inch drywall taping knife, apply drywall topping compound to the corner bead. Allow the compound to dry, and sand with a sanding sponge until smooth.
- 6). Using a 10-inch drywall taping knife, apply drywall topping compound to corner bead. Allow the compound to dry, and sand with a sanding sponge until smooth. Repeat this step until you achieve the desired result.
