Replacing drywall (very old termite damage) around a back door from laundry room. I have one floor-to-ceiling inside corner and a 4-ft inside corner between the ceiling and wall above the door. Like most long-term home owners I have done lots of small drywall repairs but have never done anything like taping a corner. Given my inexperience, I would much rather use some kind of corner bead instead of just paper tape. From what I see on YouTube, it looks like vinyl bead might be easiest. However, it is very unlikely that the corners in this 70 year old house are straight or square.
Am I right that vinyl corner bead will be easiest for a beginner? If the corner isn't straight and square, should I take the plunge with paper tape or is the vinyl flexible enough to handle some variation? Thanks.
