How to Attach Plastic Round Corner Bead
I purchased two of these for my bathroom:
Round Vinyl Drywall Corner Bead
Wondering what's the best way to attach this to the corner of my wall. I've seen several suggestions online:
1. Spray adhesive (actually, it is shown in the above link as a "recommended accessory")
2. Mud (drywall compound)
3. Staples or nails
4. Contact cement
I'm a bit worried about mud allowing the bead to pull away from the wall before it sets. Spray adhesive seems attractive, although messy. Any reason why contact cement would be a bad choice?
Thanks for any help you can give.

Like any corner bead, they are nailed to the studs through the drywall then finished off by filling with compound!

The standard way 99 out of 100 professionals would attach plastic corner bead is with spray adhesive.
Contact cement could possibly be even messier and also fill up the mud lock holes. The spray adhesive is a very thin high tack contact cement. Most corner bead instructions will tell you to staple in addition to spray adhesive. I have never done that as it seems irrelevant on most corner beads.

I had thought contact cement might be less messy because it's basically dry before joining the bead to the wall. And because it's not sprayed, less likely to get adhesive on stuff I don't want it on. But it might be even less forgiving about repositioning if I don't get it perfectly aligned on first contact.
Thanks.
