Re: Best way to patch a hole in drywall

Cool, thanks. I went to Home Depot tonight to buy this kit but they didn't have one. I picked up the spackle, patch, and a putty knife though so I can get it done. (already have sandpaper, I think) My only concern is the texture...

The texture was done with a crows foot brush.

yup, that would match what we've already got - but seems like a lot of trouble and expense for one "blob" of the brush. lol

Hey DFWDraco,the smaller hole should be no problem,any type of hole repair,spackle,like DAP should work,the larger hole,I have a trick I used on drywall apartment walls, to seal up to ,fist size holes without having to put a new piece of drywall in.First fill hole with crumbled newspaper,and pack it till it has filled the back side of the hole,fill with DAP and sand,some shrinkage will occur so you may have to refill and sand with DAP and on final coat take wet sponge and make pattern like the rest of wall,cheapest easiest way I know,it will work on most any surface with hollow space behind it.
