Custom taping knife for curved drywall corners

摘要

My new living room sports a cathedral ceiling with a flat center section and a sloped section on each side. This design left me with two long joints to tape with an odd angle between the flat and sloped surfaces. The drawing below shows how I achieved smooth, slightly curved joints in keeping with the rest of our house.rnFirst, I snapped chalklines parallel to the joints exactly 5 in. from their centers on both sides. The chalklines served as guides for a custom taping knife that I made from a plastic wallpaper smoother. I cut the smoother to match the ceiling angle.
