Replacing drywall around back door from laundry room - my first attempt at drywall. On the left side (photo below) the drywall abuts a wood cabinet. The new drywall extends about an inch into the corner with the cabinet. Typical corner tape seems obviously the wrong choice here. I am thinking of filling the gap out to near the surface with anything (probably will use drywall mud) then finish that with a thin bead of painters caulk. Does that sound reasonable?
I applied corner tape on the opposite side of the door. After that dried, I applied a top coat of mud on the right side of the corner. Clearly I didn't get enough mud on the wall at the bottom, probably in both steps, because the tape has come loose along a couple of inches (photo below). My thought is to ease a little mud under that tape and then apply another top coat - will that work? Thanks.
