These patches do work well but a second lighter coat of spackle usually are needed to make the patch blend in with the wall even more.

[@GGiblet]

This is very helpful. It makes the repair seem easy and even fun. Thanks so much!

[@Family__Guy_]

it's best to ad a second, or even third coat, and you're going to have to spread the area out to hide a slightly raised spot. Also try to match the texture of the wall using handy tips found here on youtube, before you paint the surface, to really blend the patch. The general rule of thumb is: the more time you put into the work, the better it will look.

[@dmitripogosian5084]

This really helped me fix the holes in my walls. It is the perfect video for men and women! Thanks.

[@grandmav]

I just used the pink spackle a couple days ago. It is slightly harder to spread on the wall than the white stuff. It seems to be a thicker consistency. When it turns white, thin areas will flake off just touching it. I let it dry overnight and was ready to sand the next morning. Patching a hole the size in the video, I think I would use plaster. Trying to feather out an area twice the size of that hole would be difficult with the pink stuff, at least for me.

You need to have some common sense!!! If you can see the mesh patch through the spackling you will see the patch through the paint. You should apply it until, when dry you can not see the mesh. Then smooth it out with sand paper. My wall looks great.

Great video many thanks. I would further recommend you wear at least a face mask when doing this, especially the sanding part - you don't want any of that dust getting in to your lungs. Speaking of which, take caution that the wall your about to repair isn't asbestos, if it's an asbestos wall - get the professionals in for the repair. This method is recommended for drywall or aka plasterboard walls as we call it here in Australia.. All the best, Jase, Australia :)

Thank you i got 3 holes in my wall going to buy this Morning 💖

[@khriseagle]

Do I need to prime it first before I paint over it? Or can I use a paint+primer in one and paint?

[@muttonbuster]

Here's how I did it: 1) carefully sand down the drywall paper so it's not sticking out past the hole 2) cut a piece of the fiberglass mesh about the same outline as the hole. 3) super glue the mesh inside the hole, this will give the spackle something to grab onto 4) fill hole with spackle (just keep adding more in as it dries and shrinks) 5) sand down as flush as you can until some of the outline of the hole just barely starts to appear. Common sense, if you put a big piece of mesh on top of the hole; either you've got a big bulge that's not flush, or you sand down until you see the outline of the mesh. Either way, it will look like carp.

The boys/men (my brothers) are useless, so I have been learning a lot of carpentering stuff to fix all the stuff they have broken at home: my door (i learned to DIY a sliding door to bring more space into my room), my brothers fought and broke the oldest bookshelf, (they started fighting about who needs to pay, so I DIY a bookshelf with what was left). I love what I have learned and would love to take some sort of class that teaches you how to fix stuff at home. I wonder if that is possible?

However it really was unnecessary to act like women are incapable of such things-especially coming from another woman. And I can't tell you how aggravating it is to go to hardware stores and ask for help and get these amused older guys who think it's funny that a woman is trying to fix things. Creams my corn I tell you! I do however really appreciate the kind men who take me seriously and just offer professional advice.
