Not a good patch for ceilings unless you make it fit tighter. If it can hold itself up by friction before you add the mud it can be done but only for very small patches.

Uk patch: Insert piece of wood that is wider than the hole. screw either side of hole to pull wood flush with rear side of hole. Cut a peice of plasterboard the same size of hole and screw it to wood for secure fixing. Put a bit of filler in the gaps and minimal sanding once dry. No time wasting. Not relying on plaster to secure the bond. No second layer of plaster. No double the amount of drying time. No plastering skills needed. No sanding and excessive plastering needed to 'Fade in' the extra layer of paper around the edges. 👍

Pick a trade! Do not be a handyman (or handywoman as the case may be.) I was a self-employed handyman in the 1990s and when you do that, you are expected to know how to fix everything, but they only want to pay you twenty bucks to do it. The only way I ended up making money was when I started telling people it was $35 an hour for my time (I would recommend you go higher than that today) 2from when I showed up till I left and if they had any complaints, I would pack up and leave and they would owe me up to that point. Believe it or not, that actually worked and I started to make some decent money. But then I got a chance to go back to school for computer programming and ended up in a much higher paying job. As far as what trade, I would recommend trim carpentry. Not a lot of heavy lifting, always indoors and, at least when I was in the business, there was lots of demand for it.
@jb-vz4wb4 ай бұрын
Trades are good, take care of your health, for some people your health catches up with you (for me in my late 20's), there are good mentors out there, if you find the right person, they are kind and happy to teach someone who cares. A lot of trades helpers dont care which is part of why some people wont teach. If you are interested, you will do better than most people with equivalent experience Once you find something you think might be good, start learning about it on your own time too. The best people do what they do for work as a hobby also. Learning off the clock by yourself is very different than having someone who learned the hard way show you everything If you give it an honest effort you will probabld do fine. And if you've stuck with it and dont like it, there are opportunities to try something else

That’s a hot patch and been going on for 50 years even using the same idea for plaster. As long as the mud sets up in the space and behind the paper it will look perfect after a skim coat over the area with light sanding. This is a very good trick to have for small fixes in walls

If you want to go one step further, remove the section of paper from the wall that is surrounding the hole. That way, your patch will sit flush, and you won't need to feather it out as far. It's just something I started doing years ago. It literally only takes two minutes longer. I just feel it helps blend the patch in a little easier. The method in the video works brilliantly. It's the fastest and easiest.
