to conceal minor voids in framing. Also, the narrow strips don't hold
up to bowing with a tendency to crumble under meager stress, depending on
the dimensions of the cut. The wallboard direction it was cut from also matters
since drywall is most durable from end to end. Cutting the strips. Rather than simply scoring and snapping, as on wider sections, start with a sharp knife and proceed deep into the wallboard with the aid of a straight edge, running the knife again and again. Gradually bend the board back, and sever the cut with minimal stress. Another choice is a power cutter, which would execute the cut with little stress.
Attaching the strips. Professional installers lean toward tacking on the strips, since driving screws run the risk of collapsing the internal gypsum. For this reason, tack nails on at an greater inset.
All outer corner edges should line up with no visible rises. For bevels like the one pictured, plan for a flexible bead to finish with as you normally would install corner bead angles as this style of bead too, requires less stress and vibration.
