Patching Small Drywall Holes
1. For very small hole, i.e. pin holes, use a putty knife to apply a joint compound. Allow to dry and sand smooth.
|
2. For larger holes, cut out a piece of pegboard that is larger than the hole, but small enough to get through the hole. |
3. Tie string to pegboard, apply a generous amount of compound on pegboard, slip into wall. |
4. Tie string to a pencil and twist tight. When patch dries, cut string off and fill hole with 2 or 3 thin coats of compound. |
5. Sand and sponge to hide patch. |
