Drywall repair patching and texure tips

[etam1616]

You did a great job on this video. Question: Will the can texture be useful if I'm only doing a light drywall repair (picture hanging holes or dings)? I don't like for repairs to have that flat finish because it differs from the texture of drywall paper. I'm a woman trying to do light drywall repairs myself to keep the house looking well-kept. Thanks, and again, I really find this video very, very helpful.

"Knock down" is an insider's term. For somebody searching youtube looking for advice on a first-time drywall repair, that term needs to be explained. Otherwise, a great presentation!

I wouldn't recommend can spray to anyone. My time is too valuable. The only time I have had a call back on a patch repair was when I used this stuff. Tends to trap propellant in the compound and bubble when the gas escapes. It is very difficult to match existing knock down compared to the versatility of a hopper. Can spray may be quick, but not a quick as a repair done right the first time with a hopper.

[ohnj1]

I can see your point but, I've always had good luck with cans. I must admit I do use a hopper for most of my repairs. I just wanted to show people that canned texture is available and is suitable for small patch jobs.

I recently used the canned stuff on a couple patches, and I found that you get the bubbling problems (just like paint) if you go too thick or apply it over mud/texture that is still wet. If you wait for things to dry, no problems.

Thanks for the video--very helpful & informative. I'm going to try the orange peel texture because it looks simple and straightforward. I'm guessing I should wear a mask when using the canned stuff.

[YukiRoy]

Well, it was pretty hard to find this just-right video. Maybe because "repair,patching" was written without a space between them?.. A lot of thanks for the tips!

[pquigleyyt]
