The fact that he didn't apply any type of seam tape over the edges means that it will crack and split in the near future causing more work.

When I rolled home at 1am I was ravenous but had no food at all in the house. I remembered I'd used the last of my Digestives the day before to put up a partition wall in the bedroom. I ended up eating half of my new wall and I can tell you that Magnolia emulsion tastes disgusting.

This is the way pretty much everyone repairs holes in drywall only not with kitchen tools. The only other thing was the use of hot glue. I just put the same mud on the support stick I use on the rest of the project. I have also seen others just drive a screw through the patch piece. It is a good idea to adhere or fasten the patch to the support because it helps prevent cracking of the edges over time.

[@harryberry474]

@pookatim...I agree, making the patch stronger than the surrounding wall, but he also didn't use seam tape which over time could show cracks around patch.

[@daibhiseaghdha153]

he might use a shovel, and cement mixer to make his dinner.

[@antonywooster6783]

Very interested to see this, as I had the same idea about a week ago, only I used two pieces of wood and no glue between the wood and the plasterboard. Maybe it would be stronger, if one used the same technique on the join between the patch and the drywall, that one uses to join two pieces of plasterboard, i.e. bevel both edges to make a groove between the two pieces and fill it with jointing plaster, finish it off with fibreglass roving and then finish plaster over it. That should be stronger. If you don't want the piece of wood left inside, one can put the wood outside and screw it down to two curly plastic inserts inserted in the drywall and two in the the inserted piece of plasterboard. then, you fill the groove between the insert and the wall except for where the wood obstructs you. When the plaster is set, you can remove the wood and the curly inserts and finish plastering. (Sorry! I do not know the proper English term for the curly plastic inserts that you can screw into plasterboard to hold a screw.)

QUESTION: What size wood is used for the drilling? And what type of wood is this?

[@demontekdigital1704]

Any type of wood can be used, but I tend to use 1/4 inch x 2 inch furring strips cut to length. You want them to be wide enough to be screwed into both the wall, and the patch itself. Just make sure to pre-drill your holes before putting the screws in if you use something like pine because the screws can split the wood, and weaken it. Also make sure your screws aren't two long because you can accidentally screw into plumbing, electrical wires, or gas lines. I usually use inch-long drywall screws because the drywall will either be 1/2 inch, or 5/8 inch. The screws will be a bit longer than the thickness of the drywall, and wood support, but not long enough to hit anything. Plus, you can always inspect the inside of the wall before patching, just to make sure nothing will be in your way. I hope this helps.

[@michaelzoran]

@@demontekdigital1704 Thank you. I didn't know there were specific "Drywall Screws" that are an inch long like that. I will look for those at the store now. Also, you mentioned how "Pine" wood needs to have pre-drilled holes that match the size of the screws. Does this mean the size needs to be identical? For example, if the size of the screw is a 3/8 does that mean the size of the drill hole will use a 3/8 drill bit? I'm just wondering, because sometimes it seems like there are slight differences suggested for things like that. Finally, at one local store they often just give away "scrap wood" and even cut it up for you. But, I think the wood they are giving away is some form of ply wood that might be even weaker and thinner than pine wood. Is that okay to use?

[@demontekdigital1704]

@@michaelzoran The best way to see if the drill bit is the correct diameter is to hold it against the screw in front of it. All you want to see is the threads sticking out past the bit on either side of it. That means the bit will be large enough to remove adequate material, but also small enough so the threads can grab the wood. When in doubt always go slightly smaller, and you should be ok. As far as the plywood goes, it's perfectly ok to use in this application. I've even seen people use, and have myself used those wood paint stir sticks you get when buying a gallon of paint. The main purpose for using those wood backers is so the patch sits at the same depth as the drywall. It prevents the patch from falling into the hole, sitting at an angle, or sinking in while you're working with it. It also provides a bit of strength, but keep in mind it won't be 100% bullet proof because it is, after all, just drywall. Just make sure you place the backer inside the hole, line it up, and screw it into the drywall. Then when both sides are done you can put your patch piece in, and screw that to the backers. Make sure the screws are deep enough to be able to be filled by the mud, but not deep enough to tear the paper, or crack the patch, or board. All the strength comes from that paper, and it's surface tension.

I've patched maybe a few hundred holes kinda like this. Here's what I learned: you don't need a pizza cutter. A razor knife will do the same thing. Every drywaller has one of those. I would have used two plywood strips to cover the corners, but what he did will probably be ok. Some paper tape would have been good. With an area the size he covered, it will be easy to hide. I've NEVER sifted my hot mud. But maybe I'll try it next time. ( I'm retired, so probably not.) Do you need kitchen tools to patch drywall ? I never did.

[@pcno2832]

I usually patch drywall doing something similar to this, though it varies depending on what materials I have around. I do find that I get a very smooth patch with very little sanding if I mud 2 vertical strips of mesh tape, then once they are hard and smooth, overlay 2 horizontal strips over the top and bottom gaps. That way, there is a screed going around the perimeter to guide the knife while filling in the center.

[@redf7209]

[@dphotos007]

Use a utility knife to cut the square out vs a jigsaw and to cut the rear paper. Seemed like you tore the rear part of the paper which weakened the rear part of the drywall. Why use hot glue when you could use one screw to hold the patch? I only use hot glue when screws cannot be used. I also like to use Fibafuse on any open seam.

[@noname-pz9kb]

Easy! When I had a bigger patch job to do at my house I also used my kitchen mixer. Haven’t found a reason to use the pizza cutter yet, but I am sure I can think of something.

[@jaimeramos394]

Don't you need tape to avoid cracks later? Just wondering.

[@pcno2832]

This might not crack because it's so small the surrounding drywall is all one piece, but I always use tape just to be on the safe side.

[@FrustratedBaboon]

My 8-year-old was stunned by your method.

I like the idea of support from behind. That's smart!

[@armyvet8279]

You HAVE to support it from behind.

[@klimenkor]

@@armyvet8279 not all the times. Depends on the hole size you can leave an extras of front facing paper applying it like a "plug"

[@louish.9414]

Not new there is easier way just using a piece of drywall cutting

[@TheHonesttruth123]

It was fixed using that support board already

[@lorettagallegos2558]

PERFECT JOB. THANKS FOR THE LESSON.

[@davidgapp1457]

I usually cut away the damaged section, then back the hole with hardboard, epoxied to the undamaged drywall. You can hold it in place by drilling two small holes into the hardboard, passing a loop of cord through the holes, then tying the cord and passing a stick or something through the cord. Turning the stick tightens the cord and hence pulls the hardboard against the drywall and holds it in position while the epoxy sets. then just cut the cord, cut a piece of drywall roughly to-shape and fill in with paste. Dead easy and you can then mount anything onto the previously damaged section of wall because it is now backed with hardboard. Works like a charm and especially useful when the hole was torn by a failed fixture that needs to be reinstalled to the same location.

[@roguedemon100]

I'm sure that the only people stunned were those that knew the right way to do a repair such as that! And, what's with the pizza cutter? Plus, he gave a big thumbs up at the end, as well! 😅

[@robertbeirne9813]

When a chef does drywall repair or your drywall guy forgets his tools and digs into your kitchen drawers. How did that patch get so big?

[@DreamOnPurpose]

This was a great way to repair my wall. Thanks

[@bigpapaadam1]

lol guess we can use culinary tools for drywall as well 😂 Very versatile! This is a very smart method! In maintenance I have had plenty of times where I will use shim boards behind Sheetrock to anchor to so I don’t have to cut all the away to the studs.

[@lovetrump1088]

That's a heck of a lot of mud for that little hole! I bet that mason was STUNNED! Shocked/Flabbergasted and entertained as he surely had a few laughs as well!

I can’t believe he didn’t use a rolling pin to flatten it out

[@ItsMeHello555]

Thank you! Looks fantastic. I love hot gluing it also to that brace! Very helpful! ❤

[@TheNewenglandboys]

The bonus was when he put the glue on the piece of wood backer. As soon as he put the new patch piece in, it was never going to lay flat on that wall.

[@d-criss-b5296]

Learned a lot from your videos. In this case: your choices of kitchen items. * Do have 1 suggestion: - Make a pencil mark, near the top of the front facing side.

[@fredericksullivan7925]

Done heaps of these but never applied plaster to the edges of patch and wall sheet which is a good idea, I always put stopping tape over and around the edges just to hide cracking which might occur around the edges in the future but nice job anyway.

[@bluemoyie8618]

Awww, I was hoping that you would continue with the kitchen tool theme and use kitchen spatulas to apply the mud ! Wonderful video, love the inserted piece of wood, thank you for sharing ,':*}

[@r08l83]

I’ve never been that confident in my patch work but after watching this video it’s definitely an ego boost on my own method.

[@gilgonzalez7007]

This a good technique for a DYI project. The only thing he missed was screwing a nail or two into the piece of drywall. The glue isn't necessary. It makes it pop out just a little. You could actually see it if you look closely at the 4:05 mark

[@guymcfillen1579]

If you weren't going to bother about using tape on the points you should have at least put a Piece of wood on each side too Fasten 2.

[@ericaulbach]

Two would be better for sure but it will still hold. Tape not needed. He should have spritzed the gypsum core around the edges for a better bond. But will still hold.

[@marksalustro]

There is a technique called a blow-out. The plug that was cut in the video: cut it 2" larger then the hole all around (so both the length and width should be 4" larger). Snap the two inches all around after scoring 1 side, peel the back side away with the board. This will just leave just the top paper boardering the plug. Wet all the drywall first with a sponge. Put mud on everything and you dont need the wood. Then apply the plug with it's two inches of paper all around which becomes like the tape would normally be. No better way.

[@paulywalnuts9045]

Also known as a California Patch.

[@ContantContact]

I am not an expert, but have done my own remodeling for a long time. This is similar to what I have done, but is a slight enhancement. Instead of the piece of wood, I used a piece of drywall, which means I had to wait for the mud glue to dry. The wood and screws would be faster... But I usually have other things to do, so no matter.

[@misterparadise617]

OCD stick to cheffing and use the kitchen tools for food prep. Do you use your stanley knife, ruler, pencil and straight edge for cutting each slice of carrot? and the drop saw for cutting your pizza?
