The best plasterboard repair video I've seen. Technique worked perfectly for me. Thanks.

Great work my friend I fixed my celling after I learned from your video,, Thank you so much,,,

Great video, you showed and explained well

[@barryturnbull9847]

Excellent! Now I'm confident to give it a go myself.

[@PlymouthSparky]

Great job How2D2 handy to know, I come across these damaged bits of ceiling a lot. I guess its a good idea to carry with you some bits of old wood and plasterboard in the back of the van for such occasions. Look forward the next How2D2

Why didn't you use the fiberglass net roll to reinforce the sides of the square and prevent It from cracking as I see in other videos? Thanks in avance for your your reply, subscribed

Hi there. Just discovered your channel and it’s a real treasure trove of useful little videos like this one so I’m subscribing to see more. Brilliant DIY advice for the UK viewers which is rare in a sea of American videos. I think I recognise your accent to so I’ll hazard a guess and say dzień dobry and dziękuję 🍻

[@redpost2380]

You may want to applly a third coat of Polyfilla. Each coat should feathered and extended further by about 4 inches all round using a larger trowel. After final sand rub a very tightly wrung wet sponge over the surface to remove all the dust. Don't forget to use a primer before the 2 topcoats. No taping is necessary for the edges as this hole is quite small. If the patch is large use a FybaFuse or paper tape. Better not to use fiberglass tapes on ceilings. Only on walls.

[@Darkcruzer23]

why dont you make your own video?

[@rajarambala6467]

Awesome work, thanks for sharing the idea

[@dilligaf2386]

Good job, but! You might want to put tape on it first to stop it cracking. That will crack when it dries.

[@joshuabathke8557]

That's a good tip, thank you!

[@ashrevlution3456]

This patch won't crack because it has no movement with it being celing, and there are enough screws to firmly anchor down the joints too. I have been doing this similar technique for 20 years and I personally haven't had one crack open!

[@ryy597]

i have a round hole how would i tape it while preventing the tape from wrinkling?

[@farukatasever2933]

@@ryy597 make round hole square by cutting with a drywall saw.

[@DaruDhillon]

@@ashrevlution3456 I think you're spot on. If you have a lot of experience (20 years) this patch can work but for DIYers and homeowners looking for a quick patch, I don't recommend patching without tape. Thin profile FibaFuse or similar products are smart options to prevent cracking. I've seen too many failed patch jobs that crack or sag. Hats off to the pros that pull these off!

When you jave finished with the poly filla and you paint the ceiling. Must you paint the whole ceiling or just the spot that you fixed?

[@BaggieT]

The paint will flash. So re dec the ceiling

Good vid but use a sanding block. Cheap as chips from wilkinsons or even online.

[@joshturbill4678]

Or wrap your sanding paper around a flat piece of wood

[@George-wb7pv]

Excellent idea. Thank you

[@qwertyguy12345]

What if I skipped the second wood insert and just filled the gap with more filler?

[@CF-Gaming01]

The filler may fall out if the hole is to big or it will bulge with gravity pulling it down

[@MoneyManHolmes]

Just get the wall board for the best results. The store has cut pieces that go between the stacks to allow fork lifts to get in between. They will probably just give you one if you ask.

[@matthewmacartney8749]

Wish I could sand that fast

Hi. Im Asking myself the same question . I started as a tiler but doing just tiling You have to wait for plumber then the plumber wait for you to finish and so on... and there is no enough space for all of these people in a single bathroom . Doing just one thing all the time is so boring So I have to learn myself other trades bit by bit You dont believe but I do tattooing too. My wife thinks that is a bit too much !

If you want to know how to do it yourself, just look for Stodoys.

Mine works too. I used the Woodglut plans and performed it without any problems.

Pretty poor job actually. The materials you used were wrong. You needed to use tape. You did not prep the area and you screwed the screws in too deep making the bond less strong. If you are a rookie and no one will see the repair- maybe but it would not have taken much more work to do it right. Using the wood underneath and leaving some room around the new piece of sheetrock was correct but that was about it. This job will fail- it will crack and just not look great. It already does not look good. Also, ever heard of primer? Do bettter next time.

[@josephmcnamee1132]

😂😂😂

[@dh737]

Why all the screws ??? Why not use mitre glue , its instant and no messing about ! Old dog new tricks. Your filler is too wet and the trowel is too big. Excessive sanding, waste of time
