I am remodeling my spare bath and have removed the old tub and the tiled drywall around the tub. The old drywall that was removed met with the remaining drywall at a vertical corner that has a bullnose roundover bead and the remaining drywall has an orange peel texture. I did remove the corner bead in order to get the tub out of the alcove but I am planning on replacing the roundover bead.
Q1 - Can I replace the old borner bead that already has the matching texture? If so, how do I keep the joint between the textured drywall and the textured corner bead from cracking and reappearingf after repainting?
Q2 - If I have to replace the corner bead, how do I blean the orange texture so it is a smooth joint from the old textured drywall around the bead? Do I need to feather/sand the old texture and then aplly compound to blend in the joint and then add textureafter?
Q3 - What is the best way to match the texture on the ceailing and old drywall at butt joints (walls and cealing are both have an orange peel texture)? Do I sand and feather the old painted texture, apply tape, coat the seams and then match the texture? Or is there a better way?
I appreciate any suggections. A couple of pics have been attached, one of the left side of the alcove and the other a closer view of the corner with the old drywall and texture.
