Materials You'll Need:
Drywall edging trim
Drywall screws
Screwdriver or drill
Joint compound
Joint tape (optional)

Steps:

1. Prepare the Drywall Edge:

Start by ensuring that the drywall edges are straight and flush. If necessary, use a utility knife or drywall saw to trim any excess drywall.

2. Cut the Edging Trim:

Measure the length of the drywall edge and cut the edging trim to the appropriate size. Drywall edging trim typically comes in 8 or 10-foot lengths.

3. Install the Edging Trim:

Place the edging trim over the drywall edge and secure it using drywall screws. Space the screws approximately 6 inches apart. Be sure to drive the screws flush with the surface of the trim.

4. Cover the Screws:

Apply a thin layer of joint compound over the screw heads using a putty knife. Use a small amount of water to mix the joint compound to a smooth consistency.

5. Tape the Joint (Optional):

If desired, apply a strip of joint tape over the joint between the drywall and the edging trim. This will provide additional strength and prevent cracks from forming.

6. Apply a Second Layer of Joint Compound:

Apply a second layer of joint compound over the joint and feather it out onto the drywall surface. Use a wider putty knife for this step to ensure a smooth and even finish.

7. Sand the Joint:

Once the joint compound has dried, sand the area smooth using fine-grit sandpaper. Start with 120-grit sandpaper and gradually move up to 220-grit sandpaper for a finer finish.

Additional Tips:
Use a corner edger for clean, mitered corners.
For curved edges, use flexible edging trim.
If you are working with large areas of drywall, consider using an automatic drywall taping and finishing tool.
Allow the joint compound to dry completely before sanding and painting.

By following these steps, you can achieve a professional-looking finish on your drywall edges using drywall edging trim. This method is suitable for both new construction and remodeling projects.
