I do recommend a day in between coats if you haven't worked with drywall before. There is what is called "hot mud" which can set-up as quickly as 5 minutes which means you could finish a patch in the same day but it can be tough to work with if you don't have experience with it.
The best drywall video I've seen so far. But let me get this straight: It takes 3 days to patch drywall: Day 1, first coat, dry overnight; Day 2, sand and second coat, dry overnight; Day 3 sand again? Then a day to apply primer and a day to paint?
Too big of a patch for that size of a hole. Illusions of a flat surface wall are done with much smaller area. Also, there should never be a need to sand. Too much dust, effort and time. Apply mud right the first time and no need to sand. But, for a homeowner or diy-er, this video is really helpful.
I love how simple you make it, no BS and its easy to understand. 10/10 man keep up the good work. and by the way you present your work well i could tell you know what your doing
What about patching a hole just like that (from a door knob) in a room that already has paint/texture. Does that same technique apply? Cuz I noticed that this is a patch job on an unfinished/unpainted piece of drywall.
thank you...i punched a whole in my basement wall and my mom found it hehe:) Now i have to fix it and paint it or im grounded for a good while...Thanks!
That was fantastic! Thanks for the video! I hung drywall in New Orleans for 3 weeks after the Hurricane. I'm trying to learn finishing and taping now.
Great, informative I like how you explained how to do it wish me luck :)

The technique is the same for sure. Smaller patch kits are available for door nob holes.

@ChaiVat Yes, the same technique is used.
