Helping my son with the house that he just bought the kitchen soffits corner bead has the compound coming off if it so we scraped it all off and some yo yo installed it with 1" Brad nails. Anyway there are 3 mitered corners that dont have anything to nail to. Any ideas how to attach the corner bead considering its already up. Only one side of the bead is loose so only one side is exposed.

Taped corner bead is installed without fasteners. Install it over the existing corner bead.

Ya know, clinched cornerbead doesn't require nails. So, just kinda do the same thing with a punch.

re-screw it down and mud away.
Fixed plenty this way.
pull it off if you can . back butter it with hot mix compound and push it in place. coat as necessary
we use 1" narrow crown staples all the time to install corner bead.( when there's wood framing )

They make a plastic corner bead which is actually glued into place with a spray glue.
This works quite well. The spray contact cement sets up super quick.
The compound was only loose on half or one side of the metal corner bead. On the mitered corners of the soffit there is nothing to nail it to. I think I'm going to go with the liquid nails. I will do my best to inject it through the holes in the corner bead. As for the rest of the lose corner bead I already nailed it.

Don't inject a bead with liquid nails. Buy a paper bead and glue with sheetrock 90. Or glue your metal bed with trim tex.

I've just applied a layer of fiberglass mesh tape and a coat of mud... scrape or sand smooth (if needed) and paint. (the mesh tape may require 2 coats to fill)

Liquid Nails is just gonna make a mess. I would use regular caulk and really ****** it in everything then wipe up the excess with a damp cloth. Then some painters tape to hold everything tight to dry. This is another way I've done it many times.
