This is brilliant. Really clear and understandable. Superior method to repair the hole. Thanks!

I have been looking for how to do this for my curtain rod over my patio door. Thank you for posting this so I now know how to fix it!

Did it work out? My curtains came down a few times as the wall is not able to hold the weight.

Thanks for this. Any suggestion on the size of the square hole and on the type as well as thickness of the piece of wood?

No cracking

Just make sure that the repair screws are not located where the towel rack screws need to go.

I would tie a piece of string to the center screw, the other end to something heavy or bigger than the hole. Just in case it was dropped, you would not lose it.

you need to tape it
@michaelsalcido37365 жыл бұрын
Great vid. Thank you. Since you completed this project, do you feel the need that you should have put tape on the seems of the patch before you added the joint compound?

She agrees.

The best way is to use double layer of drywall in the beginning
@Lughnerson Жыл бұрын
Or use blocking before the drywall anywhere that heavy objects need to be attached. It is done on better quality (more expensive) homes.

Good

Great idea. Additionally: use locking pliers to hold the center screw (sometimes drywall screws won't bite the wood without a lot of pressure or predrill). For those worried about patch cracking, combined with this method kzbin.info/www/bejne/e4nLdZ96d9-LoLs. I should have used more paper (changes bracket flushes otherwise).

Just spray some spray foam in the hole put your towel bracket back on before it drys. No cutting and holds great

What genius puts a towel rack directly above the toilet? That's disgusting! I think your wife would have done a better job making this video also.
