🚀 How to Repair Holes in Drywall Panels: Tips and Ideas 🔧 Plasterboard Repair

[@CountCraigula]

The first example seemed to be the best method in my opinion.

Yeah now he needs to throw that fabric tape away and get some paper tape

Nice work showing different techniques for different applications!

[@lchitman]

The first patch was the only way to fo a patch. Keeps you from chopping and hacking up the wall attempting to land on the dead center of a stud...only to then start chopping and slicing only to hit screws. Cut it neatly, add plenty of 1×4" slats as long as will fit into the wall and then fit your new piece. Fitment will be flush and smooth so you're able to finish it faster and less high and low spots that can be visible. The slats reinforce the patch in case something strikes the spot again and will also distribute the impact outwards from that spot into the surrounding area. Do a hot patch and not only are they visible in person, but if something bumps it, it will fall apart. If it has a hole there now...the chances of it getting hit again are likely.

Hey mad man nice job bro I was in the painting trades for 40 yrs. I'm retired now. I can see you know what you're doing. God bless and be safe on the job site.

[@brianmunkres1767]

He's been at it a while is what I learned. He's good at his trade. I've done pretty much or seen everything he showed but I'm not as skilled. I don't do it for a living either. My past was in remodeling but that's been a while . Pulling the back off and leaving the paper to make a patch works great.

[@WickedLobstah978]

As an expert in wallboard, do not learn from this guys videos. Nearly everything he did was wrong and/ or hacked. The first patch was the only decent one, but even there he put 3 screws on patch sides and only 2 on the wall holding the strapping. This guy is a taper at best. Definitely knows little about board hanging. If u did any of those California (paper held) patches on my company, you'd be fired immediately. I do high end properties and this guy would not last a day. The patch he did where he put tape into it and let it curve back as a backing will 100% fail and move in. That will not look like a smooth wall.

[@shegegirl]

​@@WickedLobstah978 I had to remove my towel rack because it started to fail on one side. There is not a full hole, but th drywall started to break from the weight of the towels on the towel rack. How can I fix it? I want to get a longer rack that I can screw into the studs instead of the drywall, but I want to repair the areas that had the old rack attached to it.

[@WickedLobstah978]

@@shegegirl they have these new steel mesh patches that u can buy at HomeDrpot or Lowes. They are very thin and square.theyvare about 6 inches. Put one of those over the hole and use joint compound and a putty knife. Hit it once, let it dry. Then hit it again and sand it before painting. It's easier than it sounds. You can't watch KZbin videos on it.. u can fix it for about $15 without paint. If u need paint, peel apiece of the wall off near the patch and HomeDepot andLowes can match it. You would only need a quart and that's more than enough. Save yourself a lot of money by doing it yourself

[@WickedLobstah978]

You CAN watch KZbin videos on it *

[@shegegirl]

@@WickedLobstah978 I want to know what the best option would be.

[@voiceofraisin241]

When I make patches I cut the drywall one tape width wide and remove the paper. This allows the new paper or mesh, I prefer mesh, to sit flush with the existing drywall. This allows the patch to be virtually invisible. Also, put your screws that hold the wood backing with in the tape. This will prevent any unsightly circles when you have finished.

[@raysmith5926]

The best way to do this is to make a California patch using a piece of Sheetrock the exact measurements of the hole and making sure to leave the backing 2 inches wider than the hole to make sure the paper has something to stick to! Simple, quick, and the best way to do it!!

Been doing this for a long time. It's easier to make the hike fit the patch than the other way around. But I also agree with the other poster who said if it's this big then go stud to stud.

[@กุหลาบเชียเมย์-ข3อ]

Merci pour ce partage👍❤️.

[@shanewatkins5636]

The last one, you pre drilled the holes. Removing paper on the top surface. Was that to decrease torque from the screws so that they wouldn't strip the drywall being used as a backing?

[@BiatrizMcWilliams]

[@josephmarcantonio5908]

[@letsgobrandon7947]

I always found you need to let first coat tape dry, otherwise tape bubbles without an doubt, I just heat gun, then finish job.

[@joedarden2276]

Outstanding

[@ahmadghanem2414]

Wow, great demonstrations . Will come in handy one day . Thanks

[@DesertDweller1]

The patch only has to be as strong as the original drywall was (cardboard and chalk). Seems like the best solution is the second one, especially if there is a way to bond the edges of the chalk on the patch and the wall.

[@Remarcusable]

You are amazing!

[@samkim6671]

Merci pour votre vidéo, je me demande comment réparer des fissures sur un mur ?

[@terryq9966]

Easy enough....first carve out some of the drywall on both sides of the crack so it now looks like a "v". Mix up some 20 minute setting compound (also known as "hot mud") and fill in the crack and a couple of inches on either side of the crack. Then cut off an appropriate length of paper tape or Fina fuse (as this guy did) and put it over the entire length of the crack and bury it as the video shows. Then finish it off with regular joint compound after the hot mud has hardened a bit. You can start the job with a 6 inch knife and finish it with a 10 or 12 inch knife. Just make sure you finish it wide like 10 to 12 inches, otherwise you're going to have a hump in your wall.

[@amirsaberi1336]

[@jcrobot]

I feel like the 1st and 4th method was the best but missing a step of drying and sanding before doing the last step where you're adding the finishing paste and spreading across an area 2-3x the size of the whole to make it all blend.

[@worldwidesports5k]

The best drywall video I seen 👍

[@AudraGibson]

Impressive how you show a bunch of different options, but I can’t imagine a reason to do a circular patch if you didn’t need to. Just make the hole square and cut a square patch.

[@edwardholmes91]

Circular holes because if you're fishing a wire, you can make it with a holesaw and you get to use the plug to plug the hole afterwards. Also, I could be wrong, but I'd guess you're more likely to get cracks on a square patch than a round one maybe?

[@froggybug]

I have a circular hole from a heel going into my dry wall🤷🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️🤣 kids

[@ruthiebabe3638]

Options 1 and 4 look good.

[@aaronmcgowan8714]

It’s funny that mesh tape has an adhesive on it so you can apply it before you mud it. Also buy a dimpler so you do break the drywall paper when installing your screws.

[@jdraven0890]

The pros I've worked with always used paper tape. I think it's faster if you're experienced with it. Objectively, you're right that mesh tape ought to be superior in preventing cracking and saves the step of mudding prior to applying it, but I just don't see it used that often.

[@AOMartialArts]

They use paper because it's cheaper. The mesh is ok in my opinion, but the adhesive-backed holy paper is the money maker!! Perfect for seamless finishes, in my opinion.

[@edwardholmes91]

In the UK they used to use hessian, now they use mesh tape... but we tend to have a skimcoat of plaster on the whole wall, rather than just mudding the tape joins.

[@jdraven0890]

@@edwardholmes91 we're doing a lot more of that now. The trend is a smooth finish in the US now instead of texture.

Sanding after it dries? Heavily edited. Maybe he didn’t show that.

I'm no expert at all but I know I learned a lot just to fill in those holes. I'm not too worried about the bubbles at the moment. I just know I have a few holes to fill in before the landlord comes over 😅

No!! tape then 5min hot mud sorry your Drywall skills suck

[@SMC4117]

If you’re not going to cut the holes to the studs ( why you wouldn’t I don’t know ) then at least take some stir sticks, apply Liquid Nails at each end, insert them ( as a backer ) into the holes ( pulling towards you against the inside of the wall ) let dry for 10-15 minutes and mud over the holes… this is basically a lath and plaster technique!
