    That was just about the most overly complicated way of patching drywall that I've ever seen. Instead of getting 2 tools dirty, he also got half the kitchen utensils dirty also. Plus he ripped a lot of paper off the backside of the drywall, which weakens it at that point. The fact that he didn't apply any type of seam tape over the edges means that it will crack and split in the near future causing more work.

      *If you don't have any pastry you can use Digestive Biscuits instead.* I've discovered that two Digestives are precisely the same thickness as standard drywall. The only downside is that I had this really terrible day one Friday when I had to trim a client's hedge with a blunt pizza cutter, so after I'd finished I went to the pub and got absolutely blootered. When I rolled home at 1am I was ravenous but had no food at all in the house. I remembered I'd used the last of my Digestives the day before to put up a partition wall in the bedroom. I ended up eating half of my new wall and I can tell you that Magnolia emulsion tastes disgusting.

    This is the way pretty much everyone repairs holes in drywall only not with kitchen tools. The only other thing was the use of hot glue. I just put the same mud on the support stick I use on the rest of the project. I have also seen others just drive a screw through the patch piece. It is a good idea to adhere or fasten the patch to the support because it helps prevent cracking of the edges over time.

      @antonywooster6783 11 месяцев назад

      Very interested to see this, as I had the same idea about a week ago, only I used two pieces of wood and no glue between the wood and the plasterboard. Maybe it would be stronger, if one used the same technique on the join between the patch and the drywall, that one uses to join two pieces of plasterboard, i.e. bevel both edges to make a groove between the two pieces and fill it with jointing plaster, finish it off with fibreglass roving and then finish plaster over it. That should be stronger.
      If you don't want the piece of wood left inside, one can put the wood outside and screw it down to two curly plastic inserts inserted in the drywall and two in the the inserted piece of plasterboard. then, you fill the groove between the insert and the wall except for where the wood obstructs you. When the plaster is set, you can remove the wood and the curly inserts and finish plastering. (Sorry! I do not know the proper English term for the curly plastic inserts that you can screw into plasterboard to hold a screw.)

    I've patched maybe a few hundred holes kinda like this. Here's what I learned: you don't need a pizza cutter. A razor knife will do the same thing. Every drywaller has one of those. I would have used two plywood strips to cover the corners, but what he did will probably be ok. Some paper tape would have been good. With an area the size he covered, it will be easy to hide. I've NEVER sifted my hot mud. But maybe I'll try it next time. ( I'm retired, so probably not.) Do you need kitchen tools to patch drywall ? I never did. I reduced my tool inventory for this sort of thing to what I could fit into a mud pan. I'll give this three stars for clear demonstration.

      Just bevel the hole edges at 45 degree and same (but opposite facing) bevel the patch edges. Then NO need for strips or screws and the patch can't be pushed in as it's backed all around by the beveled edges.

    QUESTION: What size wood is used for the drilling? And what type of wood is this?

    • @demontekdigital1704
      @demontekdigital1704 7 месяцев назад +1

      Any type of wood can be used, but I tend to use 1/4 inch x 2 inch furring strips cut to length. You want them to be wide enough to be screwed into both the wall, and the patch itself. Just make sure to pre-drill your holes before putting the screws in if you use something like pine because the screws can split the wood, and weaken it. Also make sure your screws aren't two long because you can accidentally screw into plumbing, electrical wires, or gas lines. I usually use inch-long drywall screws because the drywall will either be 1/2 inch, or 5/8 inch. The screws will be a bit longer than the thickness of the drywall, and wood support, but not long enough to hit anything. Plus, you can always inspect the inside of the wall before patching, just to make sure nothing will be in your way. I hope this helps.

    • @michaelzoran
      @michaelzoran 7 месяцев назад +2

      @@demontekdigital1704 Thank you. I didn't know there were specific "Drywall Screws" that are an inch long like that. I will look for those at the store now. Also, you mentioned how "Pine" wood needs to have pre-drilled holes that match the size of the screws. Does this mean the size needs to be identical? For example, if the size of the screw is a 3/8 does that mean the size of the drill hole will use a 3/8 drill bit? I'm just wondering, because sometimes it seems like there are slight differences suggested for things like that. Finally, at one local store they often just give away "scrap wood" and even cut it up for you. But, I think the wood they are giving away is some form of ply wood that might be even weaker and thinner than pine wood. Is that okay to use?

    • @demontekdigital1704
      @demontekdigital1704 7 месяцев назад +1

      @@michaelzoran The best way to see if the drill bit is the correct diameter is to hold it against the screw in front of it. All you want to see is the threads sticking out past the bit on either side of it. That means the bit will be large enough to remove adequate material, but also small enough so the threads can grab the wood. When in doubt always go slightly smaller, and you should be ok.
      As far as the plywood goes, it's perfectly ok to use in this application. I've even seen people use, and have myself used those wood paint stir sticks you get when buying a gallon of paint. The main purpose for using those wood backers is so the patch sits at the same depth as the drywall.
      It prevents the patch from falling into the hole, sitting at an angle, or sinking in while you're working with it. It also provides a bit of strength, but keep in mind it won't be 100% bullet proof because it is, after all, just drywall.
      Just make sure you place the backer inside the hole, line it up, and screw it into the drywall. Then when both sides are done you can put your patch piece in, and screw that to the backers. Make sure the screws are deep enough to be able to be filled by the mud, but not deep enough to tear the paper, or crack the patch, or board. All the strength comes from that paper, and it's surface tension.

    I usually patch drywall doing something similar to this, though it varies depending on what materials I have around. I do find that I get a very smooth patch with very little sanding if I mud 2 vertical strips of mesh tape, then once they are hard and smooth, overlay 2 horizontal strips over the top and bottom gaps. That way, there is a screed going around the perimeter to guide the knife while filling in the center.

    There is a technique called a blow-out. The plug that was cut in the video: cut it 2" larger then the hole all around (so both the length and width should be 4" larger). Snap the two inches all around after scoring 1 side, peel the back side away with the board. This will just leave just the top paper boardering the plug. Wet all the drywall first with a sponge. Put mud on everything and you dont need the wood. Then apply the plug with it's two inches of paper all around which becomes like the tape would normally be. No better way.
