Tools and Materials:
Mud Pan
All-Purpose Joint Compound
Self-Adhesive Mesh Repair Screen or Tape
Drywall Knife
Sanding Block
Procedure:
- Take the mesh screen or tape and cut so that it overlaps the hole sufficiently enough to support.
- Attach the screen or tape over the hole.
- Apply joint compound to thinly cover the metal screen or tape and overlap 2 inches onto the wall from the edge of the screen. Allow to dry.
- After sufficient drying time, lightly sand the joint compound.
- Apply 2nd coat of joint compound, extending approximately 4 – 6 inches onto the wall from the edge of the screen. Allow to dry.
- When dry, sand and inspect the patch. Repeat as many times as needed. A lightweight joint compound can reduce the amount of sanding required.
- When coverage is sufficient, sand the area with the sanding block to blend into the existing wall area. Make sure to use a fine grit block when sanding the final coat.
- Apply primer and paint to match existing.
