dry lining corner question

[messy]

I have drylined a couple of rooms with plasterboard using dot and dab and intend to use flexible corner tape with the metal edge insert. Is it robust enough to withstand knocks in prone areas or should I use thin coat plaster angle bead in that situation. My question is how do you attach metal bead as there is nothing substantial behind the plaster board to screw or nail into to fix it with dot and dabbed plasterboard. I have considered just gluing it with bonding or should I just use the tape in all areas and forget about the beading.

Corner tape is designed for tape and jointing and is applied using a joint compound. The result is a fairly robust corner. If you use a thin coat angle bead you'll need to skim or you could feather it out over a wider area. Both will look good when done correctly

If you are using beads just bed them on with finish:RpS_thumbup:

I think I will just use the corner tape for ease then - thanks

Are you skimming the boards or taping them?

When dabbing make all you external corners solid so you can get a fixing in for your bead and giving extra strength
