I'd also be interested to know if there is a reason for doing one before the other. The edge is normally reinforced with somethig like this..

It's too late either way!  I am done!

I have plasterboarded ready for skim actually, so will be using beads.

I plasterboarded the walls, and then 'infilled' the reveals.

I am not sure if this is the correct way but hey!

When I put the reveals in, I cut them over size, fixed them, and then cut of flush with the wall.

er.....not quite.

The corner tape is used for plasterboard that is NOT going to be plastered.  'Tape and joint' is what it's called.

If the p/board is to be plastered then use an angle bead.  

well yes but most people tape and fill plasterboard wich is why i said

tho one builder I do work for always plasters never tape and fill  

Taping and jointing is more often seen in commercial situations such as office partitions.  I have seen it where no walls existed at 8:00am but by 4:30 pm, stud walls have been built, electrics installed, walls dry-lined and wallpapered, door hung and skirtings/architraves fitted.  

Most office we work with have the walls which have aluminium 'i' beams fitted into a rail top and bottom.  There are then panels or windows fitted between the i beams.  The panels are two sheets of plasterboard bonded together with what looks like egg boxes, and the front of the plasterboard is already papered.

You fit the top and bottom rail, fit the first upright, fit a panel, fit an upright, fit a panel, fit an upright, fit a window, fit an upright, fit a door frame, fit an upright and your done.  You could have a wall in a couple of hours.

Wolfie, I know you like to be on site before 5:00am but some of us need our beauty sleep
