E.g. should i bend a regular corner bead or use the metal reinforced tape? Also, how to handle the inevitable gap between two sheets when the angle is >90? Thanks

Though perhaps unnecessary, I always fill those inevitable gaps with a setting compound before applying the ultraflex. No matter how good/strong the corner bead is, is can only withstand so much without something solid behind it.
