With normal square corner you can tape almost up to the tip, but the 3/4" round corner can't be taped. Should I use painters caulk for this, or a thin layer of mud? Thanks!

Is just painting over enough or do I need to seal it up for a good finish. I get the feeling that the guys that really know how to do this stuff aren't talking. Thanks

Oh, btw when I said "this stuff", I meant bullnose corners, not drywall in general. I'm really not trying to sound like a dick here. Just looking for good advice.
