I can fix anything but because I don’t do it for a living in over 30 years, I don’t think of creative things like this. If several were damaged, you could also get some pvc coil and make a FALSE CORNER on a metal brake with return bends and pop it right over the whole corner but unless you did more than one, it would not match. I love how creative people are, never too old to learn, thanks

Not one video that I found was helpful at all, except yours, which was detailed and completely understandable. I did two " perfect" ceilings, and the tiles with a recessed edge, like you recommended were the difference maker, they were so beautiful. You have an incredible gift as a teacher.

Great idea and video! 2 tips from mistakes I made: (1) I cut the new piece on the garage floor. It was really hard to cut and as I did it, I moved it back and forth and shifted it as I went. In the end, I discovered a scrape mark on the nice brand new installed plastic. I should have done it on the grass or thrown a few towels down or something. (2) Cutting it was extremely hard. But if I pulled the 2 sides apart on the already-cut section, the knife cut way more easily (spreading the material apart right where the knife was trying to cut). Also, exposing the knife blade more to 2 sections and using a bit more of a sawing action rather than just pushing the blade straight really helped.

Thank you Shannon. I had two damaged corner pieces that I put off replacing for 10 years, as it was too expensive. Your insightful video led me to believe I could do it myself, and your calm mannerism was nice to learn from. Even though the corner pieces available were 1/4 inch shorter on each side, cutting off the old and using the tool you suggested made the new pieces fit nicely. One helpful suggestion would be to use leather gloves when cutting with the utility knife. Those final shards cut a few knuckles doing the first piece, and the leather gloves made cutting the second piece much safer. Thanks again!
