Patching Smaller Holes in Drywall
Tools & Material: Trowel, Joint Compound, Sand Paper, Peel-And-Stick Repair Patch, Primer, Touchup Paint, Paint Brush
Small holes caused by doorknobs are the most common and easiest to fix. Any other holes within a radius of 6 inches can be classified in this category as well. Begin by wiping the area clean of debris and covering the hole with a peel-and-stick repair patch found at any local hardware store. With your trowel apply a thin layer of compound directly over the patch. Smooth it out as best as you can over the patch and onto the wall until the patch is completely covered. Allow the compound three to four hours to dry. Once dry, sand smooth and apply a quick coat of primer. After the primer is dry you can finish up by applying a thick coat of touchup paint and feathering it out to blend.
