I’m finishing behind someone who hung a small room. He created two 90 degree drywall to paneling joints. How do I finish those joints? I can’t tape them because the paneling has to stay as is. I could run a strip of molding to hide the joints but wondered if there is a better way to do it. Just found out a few minutes ago that he wants me there tomorrow or Friday at the latest.

Finish the corner with zip-bead.

How do you use zip bead? I've seen that you remove one side? Do you cut it off with a knife? Zip bead is the T-shaped bead with a bunch of holes in one side, right? Sorry for my ignorance, I've just never used it or seen anyone using it.
Attach the perforated side to the face of the rock, the zip strip goes up against the paneling. Finish your drywall, pull the strip out, caulk and then paint. Couldn't be easier.

Another vote for zip bead.
We use it all the time when adding walls beneath existing drop ceilings. Beats j-bead, hands down for finished look and ease of installation. Finishes like an edge of corner bead, and when you zip off the flang, you get a crisp straight edge . That will make a very neat caulk joint in your case, is the paneling is straight and flat.
>Attach the perforated side to the face of the rock, the zip strip goes up against the paneling. Finish your drywall, pull the strip out, caulk and then paint. Couldn't be easier.<I like it! If I can find some near by I'll try it. Only need 2 pieces, so it's not worth paying $4 per gallon to run way out to get it. Otherwise, everyone's idea of flat taping sounds like the way to go.Can you spray glue it like an outside corner? Then mud & tape the perforated flange?
Here's a link to Trim-Texs' installation page.

Perfect! Thanks.
If the drywall is tight, caulk them. If there is a gap run the tape flat as suggested. If you get any on the paneling it will just wipe off.
Maybe a piece of back-band moulding????????????
Here's another one I don't know about. What's back-band moulding?
We use it quite abit here in the NE, as architecual detail on flat stock for door and window caseing. Basically a pc. of 3/4x3/4 with a rabbitt out of the back. Provides a nice simple detail and I thought you might be able to retrofit to your particular situation.
Flat tape and a bead of caulk
J bead and caulk...

I looked at it tonight and I don't think the gap is wide enough to get the small "hook" back in there. There's about 1/8" gap, maybe 1/4" here and there. So maybe flat taping is the best. 20 min mud to fill the gap, flat tape then finish. Probably ought to put blue tape on the paneling if I'm using hot mud, then pull it off before the mud dries.
sounds like ya got the plan...

Youve got 2 choices .
Flat tape against the paneling after its been masked with tape. Finish , pull tape and a fine bead of clear caulk. Cut precisely with paint .
OR;
Use a wood inside corner mold.
Your choice.
