    Outside corners

    Is it okay to butt corners if no trim is available? It seems a miter would be too sharp.

    Are you supposed to mitre the internal corners of metro or should you scribe?

    The champers would obviously create to big a grout joint. I'm thinking a mitre. Scribing might be a bit wobbly looking?
