A second layer of jointing compound can then be applied to cover the entire surface of the tape. Depending on the type of compound you have used, you may have to wait until the first layer is dry (from 6 hours to several days) before applying your second coat. Alternatively, it may be recommended that you apply this coat while the first is still wet. Make sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions at all times. Remember that, although you can fold scrim tape, and it can sometimes be perfect for internal joints, for angles it’s usually not going to give you the same crisp edge you’d get from a pre-creased jointing tape. Paper joint tape is a strong kraft tape designed for using with jointing compounds to reinforce and strengthen drywall joints and corners. Retains strength when wet, with tapered edges for invisible seams and strong crease in centre for an effective fold. Finishing Outside Corners: Use broad knife to apply the joint compound over the corner bead flange for the outside corners. The first coat should be approximately 6" wide, and the second coat 6"- 10" wide applied on each side of corner.
