This post deals with repairing bull nose that are the rage in newer homes. After a few years the bull nose edges can get bent (pushed in).
This post shows the seven steps on repairing residential home bull nose and a scraped wall.
Step 1: Fig.1 and
fig.2 shows the same wall.
Fig.1 addresses the dent in the bull nose, while
fig.2 addresses the flat portion of the bull nose.
It is two different issues and it happens if the wall is wiped often, for example a corner.

Step 2: Fig.3 shows
Homax Orange Peel Wall Texture. This is a can that has joint compound with a similar texture of your present wall. It is better to get the can than to use a hopper with a compressor for a small job. Repairing the bull nose is a small job. For more information click

Step 3: Fig.4 shows this wall is heavily
textured.
Fig.5 shows the
dent that will be repaired.

Step 4: Fig.6 shows that the
first coat of
orange peel texture has been shot at the wall.
Fig.7 shows the spray goes everywhere. Use the
roller to flatten the other areas, and let the
bull nose fill up then use the
roller when the joint compound is almost dry. This will keep the wall textured and update the flat area on the corner and on the wall.
Fig.8 shows that using a
paint roller will
flatten the excess without removing the spray from the bull nose dent area.

Step 5: Fig.9 shows the
second coat of
texture addressing the flatness of the bull nose corner.
Fig.10 shows the
second and
third coat of
texture that will
fill the dent with textured joint compound to eliminate the dent. It takes time to fill the dented area without overloading the surrounding areas.

Step 6: Fig.11 shows both wall tools are in the sink ready to be cleaned up for the next job.
The texture can tip needs to be cleaned, otherwise the existing mud will dry and the can will not spray has expected for the next repair job. This part of this job is finished, the next post will address a wall scrape damaged by dog carrier.
