Broken or crooked drywall corners made straight.

If you feel confident using drywall compound and have broken or crooked inside corners that you want to make look crisp and straight, checkout this drywall tape.

When working inside a home, a vacuum sander is used for dust control.

    'Straitflex' tape is available at good paint stores. It feels like made from a plastic.

    Without this, drywall dust is so invasive. It would be like throwing a handful of baking flour up in the air.

    Powerful vacuums take care of nearly 100% of the dust.

    Never seen this stuff, and some corner cracks have given me fits. I look forward to trying this.

    It's also really good on the cathedral ceilings we have around here where the corners were never straight or have just broken out from settling.

    And it's not like a corner bead that you have to nail.

    If they are small corner cracks, you can run a bead of caulking down them, after first scraping, dusting and priming.

    I'm glad you can get an early jump on an exterior.

    Maybe we can turn this climate change into something positive by being able to work outside more, just have some 'all weather' paint on hand jic the rain starts.

    At least you didn't melt.

    I hope to put to use a dopler radar phone app to help with pop-ups this summer.

    We had a disaster two years ago on a deck.
