Drywall is a construction product made from gypsum, sand and water. These materials are pressed between sheets of heavy paper and used to build walls, ceilings and other architectural features.While drywall is very strong and resilient, it can suffer damage over time due to impacts from people and objects. The corners of a drywall partition are particularly vulnerable to damage, especially if the walls were not built properly. To repair damaged corners, you'll need to cut away existing corner posts, or beads, and restore the appearance of the drywall using joint compound and paint.
