" How are you doing? My name is Noah Richardson from Elliot Construction. Because as you notice, it’s not like this where it’s got a straight flat surface. You have to do this one really half-and-half because it’s in a corner. What I do is this. Half and this half like that. You always want to make sure you’re calk is always clean. You always keep going over it like this to make sure the compound stays in front of you, because when it goes to these corners they start dropping and messing you all up. That’s dangerous stuff. Now, the reason why I said this corner is different is because like I was showing you earlier on, the tape is half and half right, you just bend it in the center for the corners. There’s already a little crease in the middle of the tape, so you just bend it and you place it right in the center like this. Pass your finger along so it’ll stay, and then do the same thing like over there. Just take a little half way, do it like that and pull it up like this in both ends. "
