How do you patch drywall holes?

Answer 1

Go buy some drywall mud and sandpaper from the hardware store (someone there will be able to help you if you're not sure what you need). Smear the mud over the hole until filled and let it dry (may have to do this more than once if it's a big hole), then sand it until smooth. Paint over the mud spot with whatever paint you used on that particular wall.

Answer 2

You can have the following steps to fix the holes in the wall:

1. Clean up the hole; remove any debris or remaining paper from the holes.

2. Form the hole in a symmetrical square.

3. Cut a piece of drywall, smaller than the repair area and place the new square patch in the hole.

4. Then apply a thin layer of drywall all over the patched area.

If the hole is small, like a doorknob makes banging into a wall, then you can fill with mesh tape and some mud. Bigger than that, I cut out a square and screw in side one piece of 1x4 across the gap, then cut and fit a square of scrap drywall, slightly smaller than the hole I've cut screwing it to the 1x4 , following with mesh tape and mud. You may find videos of this on YouTube, it's a very common technique.

Answer 4

If it's small, fill it with mud (drywall compound. ) or caulk like Alex ll. If large, make a backing patch from spare drywall and fit into the hole, hold it with 2 screws, then tape it with mesh tape, then mud it.

This is easy!! If you want to know how to replace a hole in a wall, just make another hole using your fist, hammer, rock or other device. If you would like to know how to repair a wall that has a hole in it, then I wouldask that youplease re-phase your question. I say this respectfullyin good humor!!

Answer 6

Depending on how big the hole is you can easily fix it with Alex ll caulk for holes smaller than about !/2 inch , or you can insert a backing piece of mesh and do it with drywall mud. There are many good videos on Youtube on this - watch a few and get the idea.

Answer 7

Fill it with joint compound, level it with a putty knife or a straight edge of some kind. After it dries, gently wipe across it with a damp sponge to smooth it, no dust using a sponge.
