Can I use construction adhesive to affix metal corner bead to my
sheetrock outside corners? There are a few corners where one sheet of
drywall comes up a little short, and while the corner bead will cover
it, I'm afraid if I nail or screw through it will crush the edges of
the drywall underneath. Is const. adhesive a viable alternative?
Would be nice and flat at least.

The stuff in a spray can works well.

Thanks, but I looked at HD and Lowes and couldn't find it. Do you
know what it's called? Does it work equally well on vinyl or metal
bead? Thanks.

It is called 3M Drywall Spray Adhesive and I've used it many times on
vinyl cornerbead and vinyl arch bead and it works well.Apply spray to BOTH
wall and bead for best results.Never tried it on metal....If it isn't at HD
try a contractor supply place....Or Online???

Any reason this stuff wouldn't work on metal corner bead?
