| QUESTION: How do you get
bubbles out of corner round paper when you have put on a few coats of
mud?
ANSWER: I had this happen a long time ago when I
used a paper-covered outside corner bead. If this just consists of a
few bubbles here and there, just cut them out with a razor knife and
coat over the top. You can never get those bubbles to flatten down
otherwise. If it involves most of the corner, you should probably
sand/scrape off the mud, pull the corner off, and then place the
full-metal corner on. The sales people like to push the paper-edged
drywall corner beads - I don't care for them. If the corner is not
perfectly square, you get an improper seal and bubbling because the
metal part pulls the paper away from the wall.

bead. This stuff is easy to use and makes your wall and corner
stronger than it was. |
