yes you can roll on joint compound but that is usually done when you want a textured wall or cieling and does require a great deal of compound to use-- it is also a slow tedious process since the compound is thick and not so easily movable. If you are looking for a textured wall or cieling my advice is to first trowel the compound using a 1/4 inch toothed trowel and then roll it out with the texture roller. you cannot use a paint roller to roll out joint compound. There is a special textured vinyl roller for this purpose it looks like a roller created from a spool of wire.

How do you repair holes in quarter inch thick drywall?
It depends on the size of the hole.For the smallest holes (less than an inch or so), you need spackling paste and a putty knife. Fill the hole with spackle, wipe it level with the wall with the putty knife, and let dry. Paint.For medium holes (about 1" to 8" wide), you will need an aluminum patch, which is sort of like a mesh grid, patching plaster, a sanding sponge, and a large putty knife. Put the mesh grid up to the hole, and use the plaster to coat the grid and blend it into the surface of the drywall. After it has dried, sand it even. Prime and paint.For larger holes (larger than 8"), you will need a drywall patch, joint compound, a sanding sponge, drywall screws, a screwdriver, and a compound knife (to spread the joint compound). Cut a larger, well-shaped hole around the hole that you are trying to repair, in the shape of a rectangle (for example, if you had a football-helmet shaped hole in your wall, you'd cut around the hole in the shape of a rectangle) and remove the excess drywall. Cut the drywall patch to the same size as the hole you just made. Screw the piece of drywall into the joists inside the hole. Use joint compound to cover the drywall screws and blend together where the drywall patch meets the old drywall. After it had dried, sand it even. Prime and paint.
Explain how to do Drywall Repair?
Drywall repair is not difficult, but it does require some special tools and techniques. The most important thing to remember when doing drywall repair is to take your time and be careful not to damage the surrounding area. To start, you will need to remove any loose or damaged drywall. Use a putty knife to scrape away any loose paint or plaster, then use a utility knife to score the damaged drywall. This will make it easier to remove the damaged section. Next, cut a piece of new drywall to fit the opening. Make sure to use a sharp knife so that the edges are clean and straight. Once the new drywall is in place, use drywall tape to cover the seams. Finally, apply a thin layer of joint compound over the entire repair. Use a putty knife to smooth out the compound, then let it dry. Once it is dry, sand the area smooth and paint over the repair.
