In the process of putting up 50mm kingspan insulation backed plaster board and have no problem taping , skimming and sanding joints between sheets and not bothering with skimming the entire wall. Problem is how do you approach edges and get a steel bead on the corner but still be able to get it covered with just a light skimming without having to do the entire sheet. Any tips?

you are taping and jointing and wont be using skim beads..you should be using jointing tape with two metal strips running thru it ..(for corners) it folds /bends around the angles to give you a sharp edge..just bed and fill as you had been doing with the joints...m
