I am re-doing my bathroom and I put the sure coner stipes on the corner faceing out, I have already muded it and sanded it down it looked great but then I was reading the instructions and it said to place the metal faceing the wall. Is OK to leave it like that or should I re do it?

Are you referring to a corner bead? SHEETROCK Brand Paper-Faced Metal Corner Bead by USG Corporation (http://www.usg.com/sheetrock-paper-faced-metal-corner-bead.html)

It is only shaped one way. How can you reverse it? The finishing side is always out.

It is like the paper mud tap but it has two metal strips running down the center. You can bend it in a circle if you want to.

The metal will move over time and pop. Can't give u a time frame, but did a repair that was done that way.
Would recommend redoing.
