Reinforce stiffen inside corners

Any tips on the best way to strengthen inside corners of buildings?
Wood strips or extra card stock?
Thanks

Either would serve plus you might try small triangular supports to keep the building square.

I use extra tab+ triangle if needed and very,very little glue because too much can distort corner.

I think the main issue is ensuring the reinforcing piece is exactly square. I've used a piece of graph paper glues onto 1mm card to give a precise guide to cut out triangular reinforcing pieces. I agree with using only a small amount of PVA glue or switch to a non-aqueous glue for the reinforcing pieces.


Regards,


Charlie

Thanks about what size width and thickness do you use? Do you happen to have pics showing them in place?
