The right way to patch your drywall
We all know how stained walls are unattractive at home. Regardless of the appearance of the wall with its textured finish, a hole in the drywall can possibly ruin everything. And the bad news is that it's something you can never really avoid. The moment will come when you will have a hole somewhere in the wall of your house, which will have to be repaired.
The good news about this particular problem is that it is very easy to correct and give the impression that the hole was not even there at first.
You may need to fill a hole in your drywall resulting from fixing the piping in your kitchen.
There are basically many causes of holes in drywall. Here are some of the things you can do to solve this type of drywall nightmare.
First, you will need the proper equipment to be able to effectively and professionally repair the hole in the gypsum. You will need a joint compound, drywall tape, orange peel texture, wood screws, drywall, and some wood debris or plywood.
For tools, you will need a drill, a putty knife, a sander and a drywall saw.
First, you must take the saw for drywall and cut out debris. This will help you remove debris accidentally passed through the wall. Start at the edge of the damaged area and cut a square hole to remove the damaged drywall.
The next step is to cut a piece of wood that is about the same size as the hole you cut on the wall. Just give it a little space on the sides to put the wood in place when screwing. After that, you must now place it in the hole and screw the piece of wood over the hole. Do the same for the opposite corner for the two corners at the bottom of the hole.
Then you will now be able to place a piece of drywall that you have cut on the wood you have recently attached to the wall. This will define the drywall in place by screwing it on all four sides. This is the difficult part.
After that, all you have to do is make the fix invisible. To do this, just take a putty knife and dig a small compound. Then press the compound into the cracks you see around the newly attached drywall piece. After that, you can now get your drywall tape and cut it to the length you need to cover all four sides of the cut.
