Lazy guy question: after the first layer of spackle it seems to look pretty good. Why are additional layers of spackle needed? What improvement does a 2nd or 3rd layer make? Great video, Thanks!

[@RefreshHomeImprovements]

That’s a great question! The first layer of mud/spackle locks the patch in place and essentially fixes the hole. The additional layers ‘fan’ the mud out to help eliminate the appearance of a hump/bump in the wall (due to the patch sitting on top of the wall surface) 👍

[@priscillaguirre8266]

Sorry, a girl who just bought a house and trying to learn here. lol. What did you do with the wires? I'm assuming you have to kill the breaker for the room and then what, tug the wires out? Cut them? Or did you just stuff them into the wall? Everything else seems pretty easy, thanks.

[@RefreshHomeImprovements]

Because it was a telephone line, it’s not dangerous to cut them at the box. Still, the best thing to do is to find the network interface (usually on the side of your house or in the basement) and disconnect the wires out there, that way, none of the wires in the house have any voltage on it. If you can't do that cut the wires so they are at slightly different lengths and wrap the bundle together in electrical tape. DO NOT DO THIS if you are unsure of the type of wire you’re dealing with. If it’s an electrical outlet or a junction box (or you’re unsure) get an electrician in to disconnect the wires from the panel properly 👍

[@samueladams584]

I literally just pulled one of these off the wall in a spare room.. I was wondering what I'll do to fix it

If it’s done correctly you shouldn’t be able to locate it (let alone pull it off the wall 😂). Perhaps it wasn’t installed properly?

This is a really nice video, bro. So i have a question. If we want to put a hole on the same spot, is that possible or allowed?.

Thanks for this awesome video and detailed instruction. Really saves $$$!!

[@RefreshHomeImprovements]

Thanks! It would be better to choose a different spot. The area won’t be as strong as the surrounding drywall

[@WrongFromWright]

i cut a piece of drywall out of the wall to put a cable passthrough, I ended up moving the passthrough because of a surprise crossbeam. Can I stick the piece of drywall i cut out to the back of the patch?

[@RefreshHomeImprovements]

We suppose you could 👍. You’d essentially be creating what’s known as a ‘california/butterfly/hot patch’. The concern would be that without securing the piece of drywall to anything (beyond the compound you used to stick it to the patch), it really wont provide much additional strength to the patch. If youre curious, we have a whole playlist on our page dedicated to different methods for patching drywall holes. I’ll link it below 👇 kzbin.info/www/bejne/d6PNmoiYoZl7jdE

[@jaz-mania777]

How long can I store the extra puddy for? Will it dry up? Should I store it a certain way?

[@RefreshHomeImprovements]

As long as you keep the lid on, it lasts for a shockingly long time (hard to say exactly. It might have a best before date on it too 🤔…). The only time we’ve had one dry out, turned out there was a crack in the tub 👍

[@pebbles2482]

How can you tell which is the back? Uh, dumb question, cuz both sides look the same. So you end up putting the pink stuff on both sides?

[@RefreshHomeImprovements]

both sides get covered with spackling compound (which makes it surprisingly strong), so it doesn’t really matter which side goes to the wall. If you follow the instructions on the pack it’s very straight forward 👍

[@CulturedGem]

Dang, you skipped a part. Do you cut the wires or will you get a shock. I'm trying to do this by myself and well, I am not a fixit person. Thank you

[@RefreshHomeImprovements]

Good question! This was an old phone jack (low voltage line), and had been disconnected at the panel, so we knew it was safe to delete. If you are unsure of what the plug is, always consult a professional (electrician, or service provider). Never cut a wire without knowing exactly what it is/ if its live 👍

[@joseescobedo7899]

I just have a drill hole that need filling after messing up pitting a shelf ... Also i have a rental

[@MTLuvsU]

I’ve got a project I’m about to start where I’ve got some drywall that’s peeling. Do you think it’s appropriate to patch and follow this method? I’d be using a bigger mesh because it’s quite a bit of peeling.

[@sticktron2857]

Can you get extra pieces if the hood is slight bigger

[@RefreshHomeImprovements]

There’s definitely a limit to the size of hole you’d want to patch with this technique (the maximum size is listed on the product). For larger holes we have other methods we prefer, and you can find them here 👉 Different Ways to Patch Drywall kzbin.info/aero/PL66cwKx1YOgtbTYSU3K8Quq-TPdRDchXO

[@anvil3999]

Can you drill a hole for screws after that? I’m trying to fix a towel rack of mine

[@RefreshHomeImprovements]

Unfortunately not with this method, no. There’s nothing for the screw to bite onto with this solution. You’re looking for a repair more like this one 👉 kzbin.info/www/bejne/baTaaJaGhMaMY6c

[@stephaniehelton5876]

Does anyone find that the patch looks like a bump on the wall?

[@RefreshHomeImprovements]

You need to ‘fan’ out the compound more to blend it in. In other words, add more compound/spackle to the edges of the patch so that the “bump” ends up as an imperceptible slope 👍

[@shaquanrumproast9325]

@refreshhomeimprovements are these patched holes ok to use with screws or nails..specifically, would the weight of a curtain rod be ok?

[@RefreshHomeImprovements]

No unfortunately not. If you’re going to want to hang something on a patched area you will have to patch with a new piece of drywall

[@LaShonda-z1n]

Can this be done in a day or must I wait a day in between?

[@RefreshHomeImprovements]

Without using “catalyzed” compounds (or hot muds) there’s no way to do it in a day👍

[@RefreshHomeImprovements]

You can use a heat gun to dry/cure things faster if you’re desperate

[@sidramir3211]

did you paint the whole wall again?

[@RefreshHomeImprovements]

Nope, just the general area that we patched (and then we ‘feathered out’ the roller to help blend the paint in with the rest of the wall without a hard edge)👍

[@Ted_Michaels]

Sorry - I do not get it - how do you match the texture of the wall?

[@RefreshHomeImprovements]

In this example the wall isn’t textured. In this case, it’s simply a matter of making the smooth patched area blend in with a wall thats been rolled many times already. Our best advice in this instance is the paint the patch with a thicker nap than the wall has (might need to do this a few times), then paint the whole thing with a finer nap roller to blend it in with the rest of the wall. If the wall is textured, once the patch is completed, you would apply the textured finish to the smooth patched area and try your best to blend it in with the surrounding wall (not an easy task). 👍

[@Ted_Michaels]

@@RefreshHomeImprovements Thank you for the clarification and advice. I appreciate it.

[@rjdodgerz2776]

How long does it take for paste to dry up?

[@RefreshHomeImprovements]

Completely depends on the thickness of the application. Thinner coats will dry in a couple of hours thicker coats will take longer. The spackle in this kit has their Drydex technology which goes from pink to white as it dries so you’ll know as soon as its ready 👍

If done correctly, you shouldn’t notice the bump at all. Takes a little practice to fan it out properly 👍

[@mijit.859]

What bugs me ! Is that when you apply so many applications of that pink patching filler ok 👉You end up with a ‘HUMP’ on the wall surface instead of a uniform FLAT smooth finished surface!! Hopeless !!! 😞

[@RefreshHomeImprovements]

It really shouldn’t be a ‘hump’ when you’re done. You apply enough compound to cover the patch AND to fan it out wide enough so that when you sand it back (to the depth of the patch itself) the raised section is so gradual and minimal you’ll never see it 👍

for something like that, we’d just skip the patch and put a couple skim coats of mud/compound over the area 👍

[@jacquesviau6165]

Thank you bruh! Saw out yesterday at Walmart. Heading later to the store. Question are you sure it won’t crack since others claim to use wood to secure the patch?

Think of this patch as the drywall tape you’d apply to a seam to prevent cracking at a joint. As long as it’s applied properly, you shouldn’t have any issues 👍

[@denisebrady8707]

How do you smooth it out so the metal piece won't show ? It shows th thtough, but I do not want it raise but smooth. Thanks

[@RefreshHomeImprovements]

There is no metal piece in this kit (if i understand correctly), but the concept should be the same. You need to keep applying layers of compound/spackling to ‘fan out’ the raised area (essentially spreading it out over a large enough area that the ‘bump’ in imperceptible). If you do this enough/properly, then all youre doing with the sander is blending in the edges and making sure the top layer of the patch is smooth. You shouldn’t need to do a ton of sanding if done correctly 👍

How do you get the texture on the wall to match the patch?

[@RefreshHomeImprovements]

textured walls are always a little trickier- but if your wall is just drywall, then the nap/pile/thickness of the paint roller you use can help blend it in with the existing painted surfaces.

[@paulacampos970]

There's texture spray in a can for someone who doesn't know much about patching and etc that is a easy option. You just spare on the texture and let it dry them paint over it.
