How do I fix this?
>>
Round it off
>>
>>2974501
I figure it can be patched without anything that extreme, but I'm worried baout making it blend in and looking nice.
>>
>>2974496
You'll need to tap that corner bead back into place first, then it's start applying drywall compound and being all artistic and shit.

I would cut the corner with a metal hacksaw then patch it.
>>
>>2974512
There's a metal strip like a thick wire at the corner. Could I use a hammer to tap it straight and 'excavate' the corner out in the approximate area you outlined?
>>
>>2974496
are you really that stupid?
>>
>>2974520
I guess so. I know there's patch kits and stuff, but this is on a corner in a pretty visible area and want to make sure it looks really good and not like a patch job.
>>
>>2974496
drywall compound. Stipple it with a brush to match texture.
>>

I'm sorry I somehow missed your post when I posted >>2974515 Thank you.

>want to make sure it looks really good and not like a patch job.
take your time, build up slowly, add the dipples, primer it, recheck the dipples, primer it again, paint the whole wall and around the corner on the short side in picture

No. To fix it you have to remove the whole angle and replace it.
>>
>>2974542
>>2974596
I'll give it a go. Thank you.

>>2974597
I think I'll try without the mesh first like other anons have mentioned since it's pretty small. Might try that if it doesn't work. Thank you though.
>>
>>2974515
It's a corner like pic related, not a wire.

1. Stop living in a cardboard house.
2. Use plaster: first using a flat object like a cd rom case or related(something with a flat face, easy to clean), put said flat object like pic related, now fill with plaster this face(red wall in pic related) first, just use the tip of your fingers. Let it dry and now repeat the same procedure with the other face if the wall. Don't forget clean the faces of the flat object before the plaster dries on it.

Don't forget pour a bit of water on the the superface of the wall that will receive the plaster, same like the face of the flat object that will have contact with the plaster.

you're welcome

mud it then sand it smooth to the profile

then dash, or flick, the mud at the smooth part as best you can to match the texture. Roll paint on in 3 or four times.

Thank you for the recommendations anons. I was able to fix it without cutting a section of the wall out or replacing the metal bead. I scraped out the loose bits, straightened the bead out a little by bracing a slotted screw driver against it and tapping with a hammer. Then filled it in with plaster, which took a couple of layers to get filled in fully. Then sanded it down and painted over it. Thank you.

With something like this

That looks like shit. You need to add texture to blend it in. Get some spackle, dry or wet compound and water it down a lot. Like thin lotion, you want it runny. Then get a stiff bristle brush and dip it in the compound. Hold the brush facing the wall and pull the bristle back so the liquid is flicked on the wall. It will take some practice to get right but is the only way without a whole sprayer setup. Those spray cans look like complete garbage.

I used to do property maintenance.
When I visited a property I checked behind EVERY poster taped to the wall.

>>2977254
I had originally intended trying to mimic the texture, but I think it looks pretty good, especially since it's down at shin level.

It's fucking trash, you botched it hard
