How do you repair the wall on virtual families?

How do you resurface damaged dry wall?

What I usually do is to first cut off any loose paper or dry wall that is there. Then I spread joint compound or spackle (depends on the size of the damage) over the damaged area. After the area is completely dry then sand the area with sandpaper and make sure the patch is flush with the surrounding area. If not keep filling in and sanding until it is. Then I usually use a textured roller with paint to blend the area with the rest of the wall. I hope this helps you.

Can you repair plaster with drywall joint compound?

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.
