    LAKE MARY, Fla. – Julie in Lake Mary asked us to fix a hole in her wall after she accidentally crashed her wheelchair into it.

    Instead of the usual way of cutting out the damaged drywall, applying tape and mud, we experimented with a $10 drywall patch kit. This kit contains all the essential items – a patch, spackling, spackling knife, and sandpaper. We found that for minor holes, this method works efficiently!

    If you have a home improvement project you want Erik to work on, you can reach out to us via email at [email protected], and Erik might just arrive at your doorstep next week!

    We purchased:

    Drywall patch kit

    We brought with us:

    Breathing mask

    Gloves

    Sanding block

    Step 1

    Sand down the edges of the hole. Make sure there are no rough pieces of leftover drywall. You want the surface to be smooth to stick the patch over.

    Step 2

    Prepare the patch. Cut it a bit larger than the size of the hole. You can use scissors. Then coat the back of the patch with spackling.

    Step 3

    Apply pressure on the patch by pushing it against the wall. The spackling material will start to come out from the back. Flatten the patch against the wall and use the spackling knife to even it out.

    Step 4

    Cover the patch with spackling. This is where your artistry comes in. You’ll want to grab a lump of spackling with the spackling knife and then slide the spackling across the patch in different directions. Once you have it coated, use the spackling knife to flatten out the spackling. You may need to add a lump or two of spackling to make it smooth. Pay particular attention to the edges of the patch, making sure those are covered with spackling, tapering the spackling from the patch to the wall.

    Step 5

    Wait. What I love about this patch kit is the spackling goes on pink but then turns white so you know it’s dry. It’ll take a few hours, maybe even overnight.

    Step 6

    Sand. You can use the sandpaper that came with the kit or use a sanding block like we did. If it comes out great, you’re done! If not, use the leftover spackling to cover the imperfections. Let it dry and sand again. If your wall has texture on it (orange peel or knockdown) then use texture spray spraying in a circular motion to try and match the existing texture. Let it all dry, paint, and that’s it!
