i think this is a case of poor workmanship. I am the second owner of this house and it is approx 20 years old.
so yesterday I tried cutting out the old tape, it was under a thick layer of paint and wouldn't just peel off. I had to just cut it all out. I can now see 2 peices of what looks like metal running down either side of the corner. The hole or crevice is now quite deep compared to the existing wall.

SO do I just fill this hole up with drywall compound and then tape it up again or is there some other product to be used if the hole is this deep? Should I paint the hole and metal with this oil based primer before applying the drywall compound?
