How to REPAIR DRYWALL - Patch a Hole in the Wall

[@MrChristopher3232]

My patches have been so embarrassing. I had no idea how people did it correctly. Thank you for taking the time to make this video.

[@nbpt1000]

nice job. One of the best drywall hole repairs I have seen using the patch method.

[@freddytara5675]

Thank you for showing us the technique. Took me 4 videos to get to this one which showed me exactly how to smooth it out. Lil tricky when you've never done it!

[@burgleturt]

This was so helpful, thank you! And something about the really clean finish on the wall and pleasant southern accent was strangely satisfying lol

[@minthillbilly]

Thank you. Glad you liked the video.

These patch fixes are all well and good. The challenge is painting the fixed wall afterward to match the existing color. Some folks are lucky enough to actually have left over paint from a previous wall painting job and some people still have the sticker with the paint mix on it. But many times there is no paint to simply paint over the fix and you have to repaint the entire wall.

[@Painmaster212]

I had that problem myself so I took a piece of the paint that had came off down to Lowes and they had some software that was able to perfectly match it for me. Of course mine was dry wall and I was able to tear a small piece off that had peeled from some mounting tape being placed over it but it worked for me and I will keep a copy of the paint color to always know what the exact color is.

[@gregcaves2779]

I called DAP and they said do not use sparkle and joint compound together, the joint compound will not adhere to sparkle long term. When I asked the question on google, the answer was pretty much the same do use both together.

Great video! Very easy to understand and follow, even for a complete novice. Many thanks!

[@exactamany1692]

Kudos for a very well explained process. working in a school building with many a hole in the walls, this simple solution is just what the doctor ordered. thanks minthillbilly

[@realblessed84]

You owe that wall dinner 😂 very informative!

[@samanthabrown1422]

Lmao I swear 😂😂😂

[@rickb1408]

😂😂😂 And he wasn't really gentle.

[@chuckwilkins3581]

Nice video with detailed methods. Quick and to the point. Thanks for posting.

[@rpowell2475]

Appreciate pointing out the "how" of your technique - specifically on the first coat knocking down the ridges.

[@k.b.woodworker3250]

Nice details, especially how to get rid of those ridges. Never knew you could use spackling over joint compound.

[@charleswelch8471]

Solid video friend!

[@kenuroc]

Could you have just used the spackle the whole time instead of the joint compound in the beginning? Thanks

[@DaqnRome]

That’s what I want to know too.

[@jotttis8680]

No the spackle will be very difficult to sand

[@grigorytsuber4663]

Very, very good !!!

[@minthillbilly]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@luccasrock]

Could you drill a whole on top of the patch? To hold a toilet paper holder?

[@2bloodstone]

Thanks you so much on your video on how to repair a hole in drywall , I thought it was very direct and easy to understand.

[@jefflonowski5835]

Well done, sir!

[@10zico10]

I’ve always run into some inconsistent results with DryDex, some of the sparkled spots bulged after painted on, really cannot figure what caused the swelling. I was told that swelling means moisture in it, but I already have 2, to 3 coats and each coat was separated by almost a day. Wondering if anyone has experienced the swelling with painting on spot with DryDex?

[@donnacanadas7687]

Thank you so much i am a single mother of 6 kids my childrens father passed away but they are either always fighting or to active this has been stressung me bc i am so liw on money i only have one question when you want to paint after that do you have to use something else special b4 you paint

[@freddytara5675]

I don't think so....

[@thezerbs9286]

Thanks for this helpful video! I am going to help fix my friend's wall this weekend, cheers!

[@wendylopez5438]

[@na1du]

How do you store extra compound so it doesn't dry?

[@keyettashelton]

really good teacher. thanks

[@GodJosie]

Best video on KZbin, thanks so much!

[@antoniomontana8522]

[@trapp7763]

Thanks man

[@liddlemountain7245]

Very helpful!

[@Beth-El]

Thanks so much, great video.

[@Coffeeandkiddos]

My wall has wallpaper can i spackle over walllaper or should i remove a section around the wallpaper

[@ladyanime100]

It's really that easy? Can I do this for apartment walls too?

[@ThaMaskRapper]

Good job

[@DreamerInAction]

Great vid man!

[@lunarmodule6419]

Thx!

[@jig1056]

Very nice video you made it look so easy. I made a mistake before watching your video. I put on 2 thick layers of mud and then a layer of spackle. I didn't sand in between layers and now that everything is sanded down it's too thick. I can definitely tell where the existing ends and the patch job starts. Is there a simple way to fix this?

[@minthillbilly]

Not really an easy fix. You will have to sand down all the excess compound. Then do a final skim of compound. Once that drys you should be able to final sand before paint.

[@jig1056]

minthillbilly makes sense.. I'm a newbie thanks for the info.

[@WessSIIDE]

I was gonna say, make another hole in the wall and start over 😂😂😂

[@jesuso2307]

wondering how the finished product turned out if you're willing to update

[@roncooney3623]

Good info, thank you!

[@SebastianPedraza]

Thank you! worked perfect!

[@kenroberts4767]

But now the patch is paper thin compared to the surrounding drywall. You could easily poke a finger through it.

[@JoseyMorton85]

Most patches are made up of a wire mesh for this reason. They're fairly strong and resistant to puncture.

[@ericg3955]

Great video

[@Not_nice718]

What if the hole is a lil bit bigger then that one you working one

[@me2u880]

Don't do your finger in that hole like that...ohhhhh weeeeee... Nasty finger man..lol

[@minthillbilly]

LOL

[@moskitchenandhome]

ME2U 😂😂🤣🤣

[@myeshaclark3419]

another dirty mind oof

[@vanskizzy]

is it wrong I got turned on a bit when he was probing the hole with his fingers?

[@paulsallee4889]

vanskizzy It did seem a bit wrong. Check this technique out. Watch "Perfect Drywall Patch How To (TIPS PROS DON'T EVEN KNOW!)" on KZbin kzbin.info/www/bejne/b4mrdIx9l9OeiNE

[@surtrece1297]

😂😂😂

[@stoneysoraclechannel7839]

Weird

[@Not_nice718]

I say the same size as you working over rite now

[@ebektas333]

What if my wall is texturized?

[@250rapid]

Just go ahead and watch "how to texture walls" videos 🙄

[@trotoxd6827]

what is the hole is wide do you need to of those aluminum things

[@luisrivera9340]

Niroda bulathsinghelage No, there are different sizes you can buy from small to large patches depending on the size of the hole

[@moosejaw9598]

my dad won’t help me so here i am

[@raulgutierrez5920]

If you wait 24 hrs to finish that you get fire from you job right away🙊😂😂😂😂👍👍 👍

[@klixtrio7760]

Everytime he says friends you have to punch another hole in your wall

[@ukw-uknowho6657]

Or "actually"

[@alihamud322]

What accent you got ?

[@socksincrocks4421]

Next time use a heat gun, good-bye 24 hours of waiting. I can compound, dry, and sand that in 10 to 15 minutes

[@raulgutierrez5920]

To much for to lttle👍👍🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣!!
