what if you are making a repair, just like the video, but the walls are textured....should you sand down the texture along the edge first so that the paper flap can rest flat...then apply mud and all the other good stuff?....need help, I have a hole in my drywall that needs repair just like this video but I have textured walls...im new to this and this video is very helpful but if you can tell me what to do for textured walls, that would be greatly appreciated. thanks.

will this work for partially dented, caved in, puhed in dry wall, the cave in is about 2feet length and width, also how much will dry wall cost in USd

[annette3370]

very helpful for those who need to diy

Very ingenious, I used to put a piece of 100 x 50 (4 x 2) in your language behind the wall cavity, this will save me a lot of time. If only someone could manufacture a premix that would harden and be ready for sanding and recoating in an hour.

[eric09wea579kar02]

If you have a situation where the weight of the drywall patch causes it to sag(ceiling) use patch clips. They are about 3 inches wide, and consist of a piece of perforated metal with two clips. The metal patch slides behind the drywall and the clip holds it in place while you secure the patch to the wall with drywall screws. Next, break off the tabs. Prep your patch per video and put it in wall hole. Secure it to clips - at least one on two opposite sides of wall hole - with drywall screws.

Thanks for the info.

[njtr]

Hey. Thanks for the info. It really helped. I used to put the wood behind. This is MUCH easier. Nice presentation too.

[jmaerocks]

aka the cali patch haha its a good one

[captaindrywall]

You are very comfortable in front of the camera. good job.

[buzbee1991]

perfect i needed this :) thanks

[xXsnitchyXx]

good vid mate been doing this for over 20 yrs for small low traffic area's

well call them a hot patch

[nedelea]

will it look like an uneven wall because of the extra paper added on or no ? should i peel the paper off one inch around the hole so it matches or its not necessary ?

[phillydrywaller]

No, leave the paper on, it is acting as tape and the patch wont crack. When you apply the second and third coat you will feather out the compound to hide the paper.

[StewPudasoe]

@phillydrywaller THANKS FOR THE INFO... we had a 13ch by 12 3/4ch square cut out of our wall because of a coal stove and i typed in how to drywall and it took me here... i thank you again for the info and this was the first time that i have ever done anything like this... you helped A LOT... it looks great and actually looks damn near perfect LOL thanks again

[SmalltimR]

@nedelea

If you really want to get creative, you can score the paper off the wall(a little larger) which in turn will recess the paper flush with the wall. I've done it a few times on my walls just because I like being picky. Otherwise its simpler to just overlap and feather with patch instead.

@nedelea This man has been drinking.

[benicia21]

are you seriously mixing your own spackel? you know you can buy the premade stuff and save a bunch of time...

[phillydrywaller]

I am mixing Easysand. It has a hardener in it that is activated with water. I will be able to apply three coats, then sand it and have it ready to paint all within a few hours. If I use premix I would have to wait a day between coats. The premix should be mixed anyhow because of the air pockets in the mud. Premix is convenient But I am actually saving a lot more time by mixing the Easysand.

[Candyann22]

Wasted my money on a mesh path, this is much better!

[jorgetvilla]

lmao

[mustymodo]

thanks mate really good demo helps a hell of a lot

[popetoflores]

Thank you so much, you have probably saved me hundreds of dollars!!! THANK YOU !!

[swishseven]

Great video. If I have a similar hole on the ceiling, as opposed to a vertical wall, would the same technique apply.

Or, would I need to brace the back of the patch to keep it from sinking?

The hole is about a 5" circular hole. Typical ceiling fan fixture, which I want to relocate.

[phillydrywaller]

I would use the same technique, but if the weight of the patch starts to sag and you have nothing to screw it to, then take a small wood strip or something like a paint stick or longer and screw it to the ceiling and over top of the patch to stop it from sagging down until the mud is set up. Then when you put on you 2nd coat of mud, cover the screw holes that held the patch up.

[okbye1]

you could screw 8 paint sticks together end to end and put one end on the floor and the other under the ceiling patch until it dries, that way you can reuse the paint sticks.

[pieslice]

good man philly boy!

[ironbiceps]

thank you

[isnaypme]

thank you so much

[Shultzgti]

I hardwired my home network(no wireless) and I left one wall with about 6 holes trying to find my way around horizontal firebreaks. This video will come in handy. Thanks! Now if I could just find a way to deal with the texture around the holes.
