60 Year Old Mason Was Stunned by This Method! Repair Hole in Drywall in 5 Minutes

[@purpletoad352]

That was just about the most overly complicated way of patching drywall that I've ever seen. Instead of getting 2 tools dirty, he also got half the kitchen utensils dirty also. Plus he ripped a lot of paper off the backside of the drywall, which weakens it at that point. The fact that he didn't apply any type of seam tape over the edges means that it will crack and split in the near future causing more work.

[@barryb3476]

I am just trying to figure out why he used so much mud for one patch. He covered almost the entire sheet of drywall.

[@johndough5748]

When I rolled home at 1am I was ravenous but had no food at all in the house. I remembered I'd used the last of my Digestives the day before to put up a partition wall in the bedroom.

As a Fibrous Plasterer, this is such an easy repair. Some casting plater soaked jute scrim to form a wad fills the hole. Then as the plaster steady's, fill out until roughly level then bring to a finish with a joint rule or busk. That is a 5 minute repair.

[@pookatim]

This is the way pretty much everyone repairs holes in drywall only not with kitchen tools. The only other thing was the use of hot glue. I just put the same mud on the support stick I use on the rest of the project. I have also seen others just drive a screw through the patch piece. It is a good idea to adhere or fasten the patch to the support because it helps prevent cracking of the edges over time.

[@harryberry474]

@pookatim...I agree, making the patch stronger than the surrounding wall, but he also didn't use seam tape which over time could show cracks around patch.

[@daibhiseaghdha153]

he might use a shovel, and cement mixer to make his dinner.

[@antonywooster6783]

Very interested to see this, as I had the same idea about a week ago, only I used two pieces of wood and no glue between the wood and the plasterboard. Maybe it would be stronger, if one used the same technique on the join between the patch and the drywall, that one uses to join two pieces of plasterboard, i.e. bevel both edges to make a groove between the two pieces and fill it with jointing plaster, finish it off with fibreglass roving and then finish plaster over it. That should be stronger. If you don't want the piece of wood left inside, one can put the wood outside and screw it down to two curly plastic inserts inserted in the drywall and two in the the inserted piece of plasterboard. then, you fill the groove between the insert and the wall except for where the wood obstructs you. When the plaster is set, you can remove the wood and the curly inserts and finish plastering. (Sorry! I do not know the proper English term for the curly plastic inserts that you can screw into plasterboard to hold a screw.)

As an electrician I would cut a hole in drywall to fit a electrical box. Alongside the edge of the hole I would secure a piece of wood with No 6 fine drywall screws. Then put the box in and screw it to the wood. In renovations I would cut 4 inch diameter round holes with a hole saw in drywall. Save the round pieces of drywall. Then I could fish my wires through the area. Later I put in a piece of wood inside the drywall in the middle of the hole. Then I screwed the round pieces onto the wood. After that it is easy to apply drywall compound and hide the hole. This is the best way to fish wires through existing walls. Just cut a series of round holes with a hole saw throughout the areas where you fishing your wires through.

I've NEVER sifted my hot mud. But maybe I'll try it next time. ( I'm retired, so probably not.) Do you need kitchen tools to patch drywall ? I never did.

Instead of sanding, making a big mess. Use a damp sponge. It works great, get the wall smooth as silk.

[@kendalgee5808]

Damp sponge you can't control the grit. Your at the mercy of your sponge and water.

[@riplead]

I swear sometimes the damp sponge makes the mud soft again a little bit. I like sanding sponges to control the dust, but it seems like they can do the same. My preference is dry-sanding.

I bet he cuts his Pizza with a Stanley knife.

[@klimenkor]

I like the idea of support from behind. That's smart!

[@armyvet8279]

You HAVE to support it from behind.

[@klimenkor]

@@armyvet8279 not all the times. Depends on the hole size you can leave an extras of front facing paper applying it like a "plug"

[@louish.9414]

Not new there is easier way just using a piece of drywall cutting

[@TheHonesttruth123]

It was fixed using that support board already

[@lovetrump1088]

That's a heck of a lot of mud for that little hole! I bet that mason was STUNNED! Shocked/Flabbergasted and entertained as he surely had a few laughs as well!

[@KT-ol7by]

That was amazing. Is there any possible way to repair an 8" x 12" hole the plumber made through the shower tile and backer board without having to replace entire shower wall? Thanks

[@bluemoyie8618]

Awww, I was hoping that you would continue with the kitchen tool theme and use kitchen spatulas to apply the mud ! Wonderful video, love the inserted piece of wood, thank you for sharing ,':*}

[@armengeorge]

Wouldn't two back supports--one at each edge, either top and bottom or left and right--be better?

[@Galgamoth]

no, only holds the plug in place till it sets, but it needs to be taped or more simplky just do a california patch, much stronger and won't crack like this

[@hughjass1044]

Using the pizza wheel is a very logical idea for me since most of my pizzas have the taste and texture of drywall.

[@guymcfillen1579]

If you weren't going to bother about using tape on the points you should have at least put a Piece of wood on each side too Fasten 2.

[@ericaulbach]

Two would be better for sure but it will still hold. Tape not needed. He should have spritzed the gypsum core around the edges for a better bond. But will still hold.

[@jaimeramos394]

Don't you need tape to avoid cracks later? Just wondering.

[@pcno2832]

This might not crack because it's so small the surrounding drywall is all one piece, but I always use tape just to be on the safe side.

[@shemsuddinmillard3172]

After working in food service for 24 years I can see how this is really handy when the chef goes ballistic for leaving meals in the service window and throws the tenderizing mallet through a wall.

[@fredericksullivan7925]

Done heaps of these but never applied plaster to the edges of patch and wall sheet which is a good idea, I always put stopping tape over and around the edges just to hide cracking which might occur around the edges in the future but nice job anyway.

[@44saw44]

I can’t believe he didn’t use a rolling pin to flatten it out

[@johnnylightning2987]

Shoot! All this time I thought using my paper plate method was the way to go but...after seeing this technology wow learn something new every day. Thanks you sir you are a real contribution to our society.

[@ItsMeHello555]

Thank you! Looks fantastic. I love hot gluing it also to that brace! Very helpful! ❤

[@anshaina]

Materials €15, Kitchen utensils €40.... the look on someones face when they see you patching a 100mm square hole this way then re plastering half the wall......... priceless

[@nickv4073]

It amazes me after reading through the comments that most people can't recognize that this video was intended as humor.

[@zackarmstrong8379]

I would really be impressed if he used a butter knife and spatula to spread the mud.

[@drno0o7]

Hole in the wall again! Time to redo the entire wall!!! 😂

[@BillynBertie]

Just thinking about the quickest and best way to repair some wall by a new doorway. Perfect solution. Thanks.

[@creationholic101]

Simple yet effective, thanks. I loves your creativity and simple clear video.

[@CaptainsDen]

Thanks mom!😂

[@louish.9414]

What happens whenever house moves and there’s no tape on the joints😊

[@lastcoyote2355]

If the 60 yr old mason was surprised by this way of patching a hole .. …. Then he must not do very well in his business . This is drywall 101

[@bobcade1002]

This repair will only lead to a much larger hole in the wall when his wife finds out what he’s been doing with her kitchen utensils. 😵‍💫

[@joycehollenbach2513]

LOL!

[@cbm2156]

Not sure why the guy was Stunned. This is actually the way I patched a hole in my wall make by a door knob a few weeks ago. Matter of fact it was recommended by the repair kit I bought at Home Depot. Except I did not use a pizza cutter to cut it or a electric saw. It worked perfectly. All that is new is the pizza cutter. Guess one could sharpen it up for the tool box. Might come in handy from time to time.

[@deborahhavens1959]

My husband did the same thing! Not a new trick!

[@greyspot00]

If only they sold rolling cutters... oh wait, look in the sewing section. Now for a drywall repair I have to travel to Home Depot, Joanne Fabrics, then get some cooking utensils...

[@BadVoidShip]

Plus there's no plaster tape used so it could crack. For a more innovative patch look up the California patch, you don't cut off the paper off the bit your putting in, instead peeling off the drywall from the paper and using that like tape. No backing wood needed.

[@Von1966]

Blooming amazing. Best repair vid ever. Single lady greedy cook attempting DIY 😂❤

[@mycarpentryexperience8135]

i usually make my repairs on the front side of the drywall not the back as when installed you would have to make a hole in the other side of the wall to get there

[@jacygardner2242]

As a Mason. I'm flabbergasted... By how wrong that is 😂

[@darrenfox1879]

😂 bet he uses a Stanley knife to cut pizza 🍕

[@LeggaTim]

Just tell people to only touch this patch in the middle, not the edges. Will hold just fine as long as they follow instructions.

[@drywallexpert]

This hurt my drywall eyes. Yes, this works....however, there is a much better process and less time consuming. I appreciate the video, just not a professional option.

[@koziol79]

What is the better process, could you pls share?

[@rickschlosser6793]

I use the wood method on larger holes, except I use two for more support. Then I use screws to attach the drywall to the wood. The glue thing is a waste of time. Although, thanks to KZbin my patches may still use the wood supports I will use the ‘California’ method for the patch itself.

[@fishingwithfilitsa]

Nice 👍👍

[@les6150]

Mason needs to get out more! Oldest trick in the book

[@mnmike6884]

A frosting spatula or butter knife would have been better than those putty knives. And your ad photo showed a tea leaf strainer. Why wasn’t that used?

[@joesnow5584]

Holy Mother Of God... what a time saver, it used to take me 60 seconds to do that cleaner with better results. I first thought this was a video from the 40's before razor knifes, pre-mixed mud, and about 100 better ways to do that. Was the 60 year-old in an assisted living center?

[@JevonMusicGroup]

Should have first used a garlic press to get the clumps out of the powder... then a food processor to mix it with the water. Also, pro tip... use a toaster to heat up the joint compound... makes it spread smooth like butter.

[@ContantContact]

I am not an expert, but have done my own remodeling for a long time. This is similar to what I have done, but is a slight enhancement. Instead of the piece of wood, I used a piece of drywall, which means I had to wait for the mud glue to dry. The wood and screws would be faster... But I usually have other things to do, so no matter.
