How Do You Tape Corners Of Drywall?
If you’ve redone or added a room to your home, chances are you’ve put up new wallboard, or drywall. The next step is to tape and spackle the seams and corners and nail or screw heads. Taping and spackling inside corners can be frustrating, but using the right method and with some patience, you’ll soon get the hang of it.

Spread excess spackling compound onto walls on either side of the corner. Measure the corner from ceiling to floor and cut a piece of drywall tape to the desired length.
