I will show you how to use the DAP Wall Repair Patch Kit with DryDex Spackling. You don't need to be a professional (I'm not) to know how to patch a hole in your drywall. Here is a link to get it from Amazon: amzn.to/3qtvgLp
this will cover and fix any holes that you may have at home. I know that doorknobs are notorious to leave some of these. In my case, I covered a hole that I had in my bathroom.

My son got very angry at a video game and took it out on the wall... so, let's just say he found this video very helpful! Well explained.

[@MikeLikesChannel]

He might want to hit a pillow next time...

[@vincentsurprise]

My son just kicked a hole in hour kitchen wall

[@wholelottanino]

[@irql2]

Similar situation. Kid pushed the door open too hard because his rc car got stuck on the threshold.

[@sooperb]

I used to do that as a child. I would've showed him this video and another video of how to fix your gaming console when your father hits it with a Hulk Hogan LEG DROP!

I’m puttin this on my resume 😇

[@alinalopez1358]

I have a hole on my wall I'll be buying this the video is very well explained . My I ask what color of paint is it for the wall ? I have that same color I think it would be easier if I knew the name for when I go buy it

[@TricksTipsFix]

As the comment before mine said.. just take a small sample of your wall and bring it to Home Depot. They will Color match that in a few minutes.

[@johnsherrill326]

Nice

[@JustaKarenDiscoveredTheIntrnet]

Looks like strawberry icing..gives me idea for a cake prank

[@nishaeskouture4808]

What color paint is this ? I’m looking to do this project to my wall but don’t know what color the paint is.

[@shikilouisa186]

It can be work on a door?

[@jonabrown3727]

What color paint is that on the wall? I need to know the color of the paint.

[@honolulugator]

Thanks for the video! Puddy it’s still pink after 6 hours? To thick? start again? Hard to sand moist puddy

[@TricksTipsFix]

Could be a mixed of many reasons. Mine took a bit longer than what it was supposed because it was colder in the room

[@ivanpkyan]

Did you have to use primer ?

[@dylan6996]

Only thing im worried about is since the patch is outside the hole and kinda thick doesn't it make the wall kind of uneven at the end. i just patched a hole using the same kit for a door knob hole in the wall and at the moment it isn't dried after like 8 hours and you can see it makes the wall look uneven despite having tried to really apply it correctly should it be good after sanding?

[@Eminemownz99]

It will be fine, no patch will ever be completely flat against the wall.

[@willbujold4955]

It’s better to cut out drywall and replace

[@Countcho]

I punched a wall, this is helpful thx

[@tgabe6163]

Great video!!! I pissed off my old man when we were staying at a hotel and he kicked the wall, and it happened to be at the exact same place where they had made a repair job beforez so it was like paper thin (probably from a kit like this), and now I have to repair the hole so we dont get charged a gazillion dollars for the hole where another hole once was..... 🙄🙄🤣😂🤣

[@trustwithoutborders]

How can you make sure the area retouched with the new paint does not stand out alone?

[@mozt8302]

you have to match the paint's colour with your wall's colour

[@Aibou89]

I didn’t smooth it out flat. It just put a clump of it on the affected area. Will that interfere with the drying?

[@TricksTipsFix]

It’s ok but it will take a lot more time to sand it down till it s flush with the rest of the wall.

[@jaydabarrientos5979]

Can I use this on a door?

[@vincentla4954]

How did the paint look so perfect in the end? You can see at 4:15 the new paint looks a bit off from the rest of the wall but at 4:18 the color looks almost exactly the same. Did you repaint the whole wall?

[@TricksTipsFix]

It s because I let the paint dry

[@MAGAMAN]

The camera hides everything. When I was house shopping I would look at houses that looked great in the pictures only to discover they walls were a mess once I saw them in person.

[@Theorangecrushgamer]

I accidentally opened my door to hard and the handle put a hole. I'll be purchasing that in the morning

[@AndrewAment]

You can always put another layer of dap or spackle on the first application.

[@TricksTipsFix]

You re right!

[@ulukanulutas1654]

Which paint did you use?

[@aimelynerioss6849]

will this work on a door ?

[@Boardwiser62]

It's amazing the amount of people teaching other's how to do something that they themselves don't know how to do

[@TricksTipsFix]

I can always count on you to relentlessly point out the negative.

[@Boardwiser62]

@@TricksTipsFix not pointing out the negativity just pointing out the obvious

[@TricksTipsFix]

@@Boardwiser62 It's funny, every time somebody comments the way you did.. I go check their channel and don't see anything. If you are going trash talk someone on their skills, you better be ready to show something twice as good

[@HurricaneJen]

Knowledge is meant to be shared and not everyone have the intellectual capacity as you. Grown people should know that if you have nothing nice to say, better not say anything at all. That's more obvious right?😅😂

[@love-ve4pq]

After sanding and painting can i nail something in that same spot?

[@fyou7305]

No lol

[@jerica1573]

How do you smooth it out so the metal piece won't show ? I do not want it raise but smooth/blended in. Thanks

[@TricksTipsFix]

A lot of sanding will help to make it look almost invisible but at the end of the day, this is a patch so it will always be slightly raised.

[@jerica1573]

@@TricksTipsFix any tip on what to use to fill up the hole instead of using a patch ? The hole is just under 3" and about 3" in depth. Its a small door knob hole. The DryDex stuff just isn't cutting it. Thank you.

[@bobsadventures6852]

Not meant for anything over 1 inch, must reinforce then patch

[@bobsadventures6852]

You can use a self adhesive agent on the inside then fill then patch

[@cameronjohnson5671]

Don’t forget to wash your wall before applying! It might not seem like it but I promise it makes a difference over time

[@guyo83]

you can see the massive patch after the paint, this was not blended well. Too much compound used and blending was focused on too small an area.

[@drsmith4806]

I've used one of those patch kits & idk if he took paper off patch to stick it to the wall

[@TricksTipsFix]

Some other brands have those sticky mesh paper but this one is not sticky. It sticks to the wall by itself when you add the spackling paste.

[@Lugiavsgiratina]

Thank you❤️❤️

[@Carlos-xz3vi]

Can I make a hole in that part of the wall once I repair it? I am trying to cover a hole I made to install curtains, but I need to drill another hole.

[@periodicballing]

I have the same question - were you able to drill a new hole?

[@thestretchy1539]

I was trying to do a hand stand in my room, I fell and accidentally kicked a hole through the wall

[@efraortiz2246]

Is this toxic can we sleep in the room I use it on ?

[@khancharsi]

May be like strawberry cream cheese, not butter :)

[@RexT3rra]

🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@gbr56473]

Does anyone if this material works on a door too?

[@JamieMcCalman]

Hmm it didn't really work for me. It either left a bump on the wall, or I sanded down to the white mesh square. How do you sand it down completely flat against the wall?

[@TricksTipsFix]

It will never be 100% flat since you are putting something over the wall. In my case you can still see it if you know where to look and focus on this part of the wall.. but no one will do that by themselves.

[@JamieMcCalman]

@@TricksTipsFix Good to know, thanks

[@GRJCLyon]

If you get larger finishing knives then you can apply more coats going wider and then feather it out. This video is helpful BUT it's not the exact way to do this if you're looking for a "perfect looking" repair. Also, you should prime the repair before painting it to keep the texture of the wall consistent and hide any repair work better.

[@sidramir3211]

did you have to paint the whole wall or just the area?

[@TricksTipsFix]

Just the area around the hole since I kept the original paint I used to paint the wall 5 years ago. If you don't have the original paint, then you can try to go to Home Depot with a sample to color match.

[@karansaggoo2935]

Hi name of colour paint

[@princeaks2833]

Can this product also cover holes in the roof

[@TricksTipsFix]

On your ceiling yes but not on a roof outdoors.

[@dominicfoumia4413]

Will this work on closets ?

[@TricksTipsFix]

As long as it's made out of drywall yes

[@michaelvega3669]

Holy shit I bet if I didn’t fix it myself the landlord would have taken 200 from my deposit 🤣

[@Remont-pcKievUa]

So anyway, any drywall repaired place will be visible, ive tryed to do my best but anyway it's visible

[@AlexGarcia-se7io]

Does the mesh go away when sanded down ?

[@TricksTipsFix]

You should not sand it down to the mesh. Cover the mesh with the spackling and then sand it till it's smooth but not too much since you will then be able to see the mesh.

[@MAGAMAN]

No. You can still see the limp in the final shot.

[@colej6108]

I hate getting this specific drywall kit😂all the other ones have the sticky shit to instantly stick on the wall and then apply the drywall

[@TricksTipsFix]

I never tried the other ones, maybe next time I will to compare

[@ChynaAlexis]

shot a hole through the wall cleaning my 🔫, thanks for the video

[@shoku72]

Thanks a lot, you saved me from an ass whooping

[@tierrarandolph3149]

Hey, please tell me the paint color. My wall is the exact same color😩

[@TricksTipsFix]

Take a small sample of your paint and go to Home Depot with it. They will color match it and you will be 100% sure you have the same color.

[@blakelewis8547]

How long does it take to dry?

[@TricksTipsFix]

It really depends on the humidity and temperature of the room.

[@tonyautonga]

Where do you purchase this at?

[@TricksTipsFix]

Home Depot was the cheapest if I remember correctly

[@tonyautonga]

Thank you.

[@willbujold4955]

I personally don’t like this way u will always see a bump. I prefer to cut out a square around and put drywall piece in square. Cleaner finish 👌

[@TricksTipsFix]

Fair enough! Your way will always be better in term of finish.

[@ChoozieD]

Yo i got this kit 3 or 4 years ago and there was less mess than this, the fiber patch was already sticky but no they had to downgrade with this BS

[@MAGAMAN]

That consumer grade stuff is crap. You need a much larger drywall knife to properly smooth that out. could still see the repair in the final shot.

[@TheMraes416]

[@Theanomgroup]

Why do we need to use the patch? Why not just fill the hole?

[@TricksTipsFix]

It will simply collapse if you don't use a patch. For small holes like if you removed a screw from the wall, you won't need a patch tho.

[@SheLoveMyGum]

Clash Royale anyone?

[@kyleeidson8388]

This mesh kinda tang

Sorry but you can still see the patch it’s still raised.

You for sure did NOT need to use that huge patch. Or a patch at all

[@TricksTipsFix]

Maybe you are right, but this was by far the easies way to do it for an average joe that I am.
