repair drywall cornerbead (edger?)
Home Improvement Asked on May 25, 2021
I have this damaged drywall corner. I saw a couple of videos, some recommend to remove old loose mud over the cracked area and put on a new mud, wait till it dry, sand and put more if necessary, dry, sand etc. Other videos suggest to tape the area before putting a new mud.
My questions:
- Is it important to tape it, or more a matter of taste?
- Does the tape add extra force to hold the new mud?
One Answer
The plaster/joint compound has cracked along the line of the corner-bead below. Adding tape to your repair will strengthen the repair (reduce likelihood of re-cracking) but will also require you to remove paint and plaster to the width of the tape, all along the crack, or you will see a bulge. That said, I recommend doing it.
