| I drywalled under stairway. The one corner will be difficult to get into but will be exposed to the eye...ie I am not using the area for a closet....though there will be stuff stored under there. It is going to be difficult to get in there to mud and tape the corner. Is there a special caulk (paintable preferred) I could use to finish the corner or will it crack over time...or should I just leave it as is.... |

| true but if I am going to do something under there its now or never...is there any type of caulk or just skip it. |
|
| If you can get a caulking gun in there you can get in a bit of fiber glass tape and a long blade. Or just smear in some latex caulk as long as the "client" doesn't object. (Mine would!) |
|
| Use a narrow drywall knife and do each side of the joint separately. Do one side, allow it to set, then clean up the other side (scrape with a drywall knife to remove any irregularities) and do the other side. If you use Easysand20 you can get a coat on each side in about 1 hour. A margin trowel might be a little easier. |

| And if you need a very narrow drywall knife, cut down a plastic one. |
