How to Paint a House : How to Spackle Interior Walls

[CatchHellBlues16]

Not to be a negative nancy, because i hate when miserable people post angry things at people trying to help. but for nail holes and holes in general up to even an inch in diameter you do not use spackle. spackle is for defects in the wall such as indentations, cracks, etc. a hole is different. when the spackle dries and you sand you will surely break the thin layer of spackle covering the nail hole. You need to fill holes with a paintable caulk, that expands in the hole. than finish with spackle

I can't believe this guy actually told people to shove newspaper in the hole...

Lots of unexplained terminology...

You should never stuff newspaper in a hole..either cut the whole bigger, shim and repair with a fresh piece of drywall or use fiberglass tape..this all depends on how big the hole is ofcourse

too much talk. boring

@irich62 Is the newspaper advice a bad idea?

[ttb6989]

@Commando303X Newspaper is a great idea, you just shove the newspaper past the hole in the wall so its not even with the drywall or sticking out past the drywall

Do you have sanding tips? My spackling is too thick and it would take me for ever to sand it down.

Thanks for this. I'm a new home owner and wanted to see it done first.
