Leander, TX | Re: Best way to patch a hole in drywall The easiest is you can get a patch kit which has a piece of aluminum punched full of holes on a fiberglass mesh. They sell them for small holes such as a door knob punching a hole in the wall. Very easy to use. | |

| 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...

| Re: Best way to patch a hole in drywall 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.
