Repairing a Small Hole in Drywall

Introduction, Difficulty Level and Needed Tools
Repairing small drywall holes up to about 4 inches is relatively easy with a newer repair material that has a self adhesive mesh holding a perforated galvanized metal drywall patch. Gone are the days of having to build up a small hole with spackling and waiting for layer after layer to dry. The only tricky part now is the spackling.
    Difficulty Level
  • Patching: Easy
  • Finishing: Average
