  • 20 MIN QUICKSET FOR A FAST DRY

  • @MrDaveyboyy I did use 20 min but newbies would have a tough time with it.

  • 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.

  • 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.

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

  • @ChaiVat Yes, the same technique is used.

  • Great, informative I like how you explained how to do it wish me luck :)

  • Great Vid Man

  • NOW I'M READY!

  • 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?

  • That's some good stuff

  • good stuff
