Step-by-step DIY overview
How to Use a Patch Drywall Kit
Read the instructions supplied with your patch drywall kit before beginning. In general, repairs look best when you apply several thin coats rather than one thick layer.
Clean the damaged area
Remove dust, loose paint, damaged drywall paper, and crumbling material around the hole.
Apply the patch
Use filler for small holes. For larger holes, place a mesh patch over the opening.
Cover with compound
Spread joint compound across the patch and feather the edges into the surrounding wall.
Dry and sand
Allow the patch material to dry fully, then sand lightly until the repair feels smooth.
Prime and paint
Prime the repaired surface, then paint to help the patched section blend with the wall.
