I'm using a paper faced metal corner bead for my inside corners but I don't really know how to finish them. They are already embedded in drywall compound and I have two coats on them already.
My question is this: Do you apply the drywall compound on the corners up to the metal edge? Or do you apply the drywall compound on the corners and cover the metal edge (in other words, the drywall compound creates its own corner where it meets)?
I thought that I would apply my coats and scrape off the metal corner bead after each coat and finally I would paint over the metal corner bead. Is this how it is done?
