How to Make a Drywall Patch Invisible

[@rebelstarcustoms]

Deadpool helping me fix my walls! Thanks bro

[@CJHenry22]

😂😂😂😂 omg you're right. Free guy spackling tips

THIS. Other patching videos don't address this issue of texture matching. THANK YOU for your thoroughness and attention to detail.☀

[@Joe_S.]

Thank you! I just moved into a 4 year old house and my destructive family has already created several blemishes in the walls. Regular patching really stands out. I look forward to attempting this method.

[@im_Spade_]

I like your voice. It's very soothing and friendly. Thanks for the tutorial! 😎 Edit: once I got to the thin spackling section around 4:30 I realized I was watching straight up unintentional ASMR 😂 I like it.

[@Puda]

Thank you! I never know what to do after sanding and painting and yes, you can tell there is a difference... Thankfully all the jobs I have done are hardly visible so not an issue per se but great to know! PS: for those of you who think that contractors do it better well NO. Absolutely not. It's usually a disaster. I have yet to find someone who knows how to patch a hole!

[@pieces94]

Great video! I just finished first coat of paint on one wall in my garage and all the spackle spots are showing through. Definitely going to try this tip.

[@Beef_Wagon]

Great trick exactly what I was hoping to find on all these other "professional" videos. Probably the #1 part of patching that most people are worried and they all omitted it.

[@You-Be-The-Judge]

Awesome video. Thank you. I just bought my house and videos like this help out since I have never done any handyman type things. The only other thing that might help is a list of tools used so when I head over to Lowe's I can say "This is what I need" :-)

[@davebrittain9216]

I have filled thousands of patches in my work and have never tried this. I typically just do a few coats with a coarse roller on it to try to hide it better before I do a full room paint. I will give this a shot and see how it works.

[@Revann27]

Sounds like Ryan Reynolds!! Awesome tip!

[@LivermoreFilm]

dude i hear that! look at my comment I just added on this video LOL

[@GeneralDodo]

I've tried this fix and it blends well, only issue is my flat paint is flashing! How can this issue be corrected?

[@MeesterSteefy]

This is exactly what I was looking for!

[@JWPRODUCTIONS2025]

I think if you do a few coats of paint it will give the spot the texture it should. But cool idea you have there 👍

[@thehound1359]

Yup. I usually do 2 or 3 coats when painting and it looks like new

[@Puda]

@@thehound1359 I wish it worked but no... it depends on the texture of your walls :/

[@2Decouvrir]

Wondering if you can use this method to fix a spot that were poorly patched or do you have to cut it out and start again?

[@weshagman6711]

I’m curious about this too. Did you ever find the answer? Can I just sand the blotchy paint down?

[@LivermoreFilm]

What would be really awesome - is if you put on "deadpool" costume gloves while doing these videos. It would be AMAZING.

[@fomomofo6917]

I rewatched this after seeing your comment 😂

[@Ellie_37]

He DOES sound like Ryan Reynolds!!!! I want Deadpool home improvement OMG I'd watch that even if I'm not fixing anything.

[@ScootLogix]

Been touching up my bathroom, a small job turned into a nightmare, drywall always drives me nuts getting it just perfect. I'm thinking this will help. Thanks.

[@GrandNational66]

I use the smallest paint roller and roll over it with the roller damp....textured like the paint under it.😁

[@BillSW]

damp roller on top of the paper towel?

[@GrandNational66]

@@BillSWi roll damp paint roller over final skim coat of plaster as the pre existing texture on the wall is from a paint roller

[@Puda]

I may try 5-6 coats to see if that works. No luck with 3!

[@easypainterslondon]

good work you took care of business

[@moniegibs390]

What is it called that he using ? And How do you spell that stuff he is using

[@longhornlove1]

Thank you! I accidentally just put a dent in my parents’ wall trying to roll a knot in my back out with a ball. 😵😩🙈

[@shadybub617]

Some of us didn't have dads so thanks.

[@eddyvarges7223]

Yep feel that bro

[@chrisprater9121]

Maybe you weren’t worthy of a Dad

[@Stay_blessed1988]

Thank you so much! 💓

[@BigRed999]

paint kilz over patch so paint doesn't soak in - thanks for the paper towel hack

[@technomax1]

Thank you must try asap the landlord is getting antsy lol

[@Comet_ha]

Great tip

[@snafujag100]

Pretty smart idea!

[@user-EB2016]

Thanks Deadpool 👍🏾

[@thomasterrell834]

I use a sock works great

[@Joe_S.]

Just any ole sock?

[@OlympianDOM]

Great Tip. Thanks!

[@sto2779]

That was some unique insights...

[@sammilee1232]

Do u paint the entire wall?

[@jeg5438]

Not if you can match the paint. If not, then you may need to. Depends on you.

[@peggyh4805]

Great hint.

[@Lunkyful]

Just add another coat of paint.

[@Philanazoie]

I came here for 4:00 thank you

[@globalchaos1984]

THE PATCH PASTE JUST STICKS TO THE PAPER TOWEL!!!! GODDAMMIT!

[@ge2719]

Try dampen the towel a bit before. So it wont suck the moisture out of the paste and pull it off.

[@BLKSG6]

Great!

[@JasonGabler]

That texture is called "orange peel".

[@farilaklak]

smart smart!

[@CalitranoN]

Didn’t work it clumped up

[@rand0mcont3nt78]

I think a lot of people are here because they made dents in the wall from gamer rage lol

[@kundic4647]

naaah, failed!

[@mattsmith718]

This might actually help if you could have filmed this with something other than a potato. You could not see the difference in the texture on the wall and patch, after you applied the paper towel. You owe me five minutes of my life back.
