Drywall – Trimming or spackling the edge of a tile schluter to drywall (Large Gap)

carpentrydrywallpaintingtiletrim

I would like to get any suggestions for closing this gap. The bathroom studs were out of plumb in an older house.

The edge of the schluter goes from 0 at the bottom to 3/4" at the top on one side. And the other side it goes from 0 to 1/4".

I attempted quick dry spackle to fill the gap and it looks horrendous. Does anyone have any ideas of certain trim (corner round won't lay flat) or possibly doing a second coat of good smooth spackle?

Sometimes aesthetics are more important than "level, square, and plumb".

Try scraping that stuff back a bit and doing it over with lightweight topping compound. Use a smooth clean knife and the stuff goes on like butter, and it's easy to sand smooth after it sets. Hit it with primer and paint and it will look as good as it is going to.
