How to repair drywall quickly WITHOUT PLASTER!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 21 мар 2019
- Today I'm showing you how to fill and paint holes in walls on the same day. If you go down the traditional plaster route you're probably going to have to leave it for a few days before painting. This method is very useful for situations where you need to get the job completed in a single day. Great for small to medium sized repairs. For larger areas stick to the traditional methods since the 2-part filler will go off too quickly.

*This is a video about how to repair a hole WITHOUT using plaster. I've made other videos about filling holes with other fillers such as EasiFill, which is awesome.*

As mentioned in the vid, this video is specifically about filling holes WITHOUT plaster (hence the title). It's for situations where you need to fill and paint a hole *quickly* i.e. you don't have time to wait for plaster to set. For example if you need to fill the hole and paint within 10-20 minutes. I have other videos about filling holes with other products - *please Subscribe!* :-).
Screwing: Defo screw the plug to the backing board if you can (mentioned this in the vid). Sometimes using the filler *behind* the plug will allow you to get the top surface exactly level with the surrounding drywall, e.g. if you're repairing damage and don't have the original plug. This saves putting skim over the plug. In the situation shown, where the skim is already on the plug, screwing it in place is absolutely fine.
Bondo: It's not Bondo, it's BONDA. Made by Bondaglass-Voss. It's been extensively used throughout Europe by pro decorators for a long time as a better alternative for small repair jobs such as this where drying time is key. It has many advantages over traditional fillers and repair compounds. A bit more info about 2 part fillers here: gosforthhandyman.com/how-to-use-2-part-fillers/
*## FAQ ##*
*Cracking / Tape:* 2-part doesn't crack.
*California Patch:* Perfectly fine method but you'll need to wait for the plaster to set prior to painting.
*Easyfill:* Easyfill is awesome and I use it myself. This method is for when you don't have time for Easyfill, plaster etc. to set. I have other videos about Easyfill.
*QuickSet:* 5 Minute Quick Set - 5 minutes is the working time, not how quickly you can over-paint it. Most products suggest leaving it overnight prior to painting. 2-part fill can be painted in 10 mins.
*Time Taken:* Couple of folk said this method takes too long. You can patch a wall AND paint it in under 20 minutes. If you're doing that with plaster then you're not waiting for the plaster to set prior to applying paint, not recommended.
*Finish isn't as good:* It is.
*Normal filler is easier to sand:* Yes, this is absolutely true but you have to wait WAY longer before you can sand it.
*You showed a different wall at the end:* I didn't - watch to the actual end, next to the Cuppa Soup.
Thanks for taking the time to read this before commenting! Love and hugs, Andy Mac x
Gosforth Handyman hippp
Your last part showed a different section of the wall. So, thar didn't help to show whether you did a good job.
@@wjb1561 You're literally replying to the comment that explains this... holy hell... 😂
Very handy tip, and excellent taste in the wall art !

I loved how you showed the wrong wall at the end.
Just about to point this out but I'm assuming the patch was done so perfectly that the untouched wall looked more worked on
I was just about to say the same thing..... maybe it didn’t come out the way he thought so he tried to trick us like we wouldn’t notice that wasn’t the wall he worked on. 🤷🏽♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
lol
Appeared legit to me.... 🧐😁
@@MrJreed03 It was a joke. Lordy... 😂😂😂
Tip for you. Powder cornice adhesive can be used as a glue and a filler. It dries in 30 mins and can be sanded, doesn't smell, it dries white, and has a very fine finish like plaster.
Brilliant - great advice and witty. Not only informative, but it kept my attention. You can get a similar effect by keeping the disk from the hole cutter and constructing a new house around it! But on a serious note, thanks for taking the time and trouble to make such a good video.
Thank you so much for the good humor. I appreciate guys in our environment that don't always take themselves so seriously while giving sound advice. It's refreshing.
Love the full -on tech talk Andy,"fill it with straw "had me wetting myself!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
OMG
I SPIT MY COFFEE EVERYWHERE WHEN YOU READ THE TROLLY COMMENTS!! After that, I subbed!
That's one way to do it, I do drywall professionally, you might want to talk to a pro, you might save yourself some time.. Hey guys it's a good handyman repair though, if it's a smooth finish wall your working with, it's a repair that should hold fairly well, for a flat surface yes, but if you have orange peel texture, knockdown or any kind of texture on the wall it gets a little trickier, I suggest hiring a pro then or find a video that shows how that's done if you're a good do it yourselfer. Hope I don't offend the author of the video, he did his best, otherwise good video, don't waste your time responding to trolls laddie, just ignore them!
There is nothing wrong doing videos about “filling holes”, they are some of my favourite videos for some reason!
Used to be a painter, many moons ago lol. We used the body filler as well when the patch and paint had to be done in one day. When we had a bit more time, I loved the lightweight spackle, "Patch and Paint" was one brand; so light you think the gallon can is empty when you first pick it up lol. The beauty of it is that it does not shrink at all, very little water, and you can pack it very thick if need be, won't sag, kind of amazing.
I love the stuff but its went to 21 bucks for a bucket now Dap took over the company that made it.
whatd the stuff
Love the added humor.... I've learned something AND I'm still laughing. Nice work!!
Just discovered your channel this week! I love it! You make what can be a dull subject very entertaining! And it is great to know you and your dad keep in touch!
Absolutely brilliant! This is great advice, and delivered with great humour. You've got another subscriber - go forth, Gosforth!
You always have a few who see only the negative and completely miss the joy of learning and, in your case, the entertainment. Funny, funny guy. Ditto on the "wrong wall" comment. Thank you.
I agree, any people with negative comments should make their own video.
Seriously, this is the exact way I have been repairing holes in drywall, plaster and lathe and even wooden walls for years. used what I learned from damage control training in the Navy! The only difficulty I would have with this is that I can't find ANY outlets exactly like the one in the video. And seriously, how can this have 1.1k thumbs down??? This is a right legit way to do this...
I'm going to be trying this on some big cracks that just won't go away. These are big cracks from moving a door and adding drywall. I've tried all the types of filler to fix the problem. I'm thinking of cleaning out a small trench and filling it with this wood filler, sand it and then paint over it. I'm not talking about the little tiny cracks here and there but a long crack down the wall on both sides of where the drywall meets. Suggestions if you have any?
@@beebob1279 on both sides where the drywall meets? ? You mean the seam???
@@elfpimp1 Yes
Why not just used 5 min hot mud? When painted it will look different than the surrounding wall
@@kds471 🤨🤔
Always enjoy learning new techniques. If I don’t want to follow up and lose drive time over drying mud I’ll remember to employ your system. Great video brother 👍
Informative AND entertaining! I'm sitting here in Australia enjoying the accent, the humour and the knowledge. . And I subscribed after the straw comment. That made my day!
Finally a person that gives you a complete walkthrough everything...
Excellent video. Your humor may have gone unnoticed by some but it was much appreciated by me. Had me rolling when you read the viewer comments. Oh, and the repair instructions were good too. lol
Good video, one thing I would have mentioned is that the working time of the filler can be extended if you used less hardener. You put a huge amount of the hardener into your filler mix, which is why it went off so quickly
Compared to my last hole patch up... this is going the extra mile. Great job and thanks for sharing!
Andy..... this is fantastic... I was in tears... the comment that was before out made me spit coffee out .. DAD???? 😂😂😂😂
This will def be in the aftershow 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I LMAO so hard, that was funny as hell! Best comeback EVER!
Seriously!
Thanks for that Andy. Absolutely brilliant. Love your sense of humor. More in this style please. Soup FTW 👍
Are those pictures from the Pink Floyd album Meddle? Go straight talking video.
Thanks for this! Good video. I like the different options shown and the do's and don'ts. Much appreciated.
I especially like the way you read some of the comments. Good ideas. I'm interested in seeing more of your videos.
Nice work as usual Andy, thanks for the Vid. As a Spark having done lots of these holes for installing cables, one tip, if there are cables or pipes close by (having checked) cut the pilot drill down a bit if necessary then start the hole then when the blade has bitten in the board a bit, take the pilot drill out and continue the hole just enough to remove the board so as not to drill thro' pipes or cables. Fix the cut out boardback as you show then leave the rest to the Decorator! LOL.
Perfect method for filling over holes but personally I use and would recommend plasterboard joint filler instead of the stuff you put in. It sands down amazingly easy and it's easily mixed with up with water.
I agree Paul. I've been doing this for 30 years and Bondo is a hell of lot harder to sand. Maybe Gosforth Handyman doesn't know they make a 20 minute setting compound. He obviously doesn't know that hot water makes compound set twice as fast. That wall would have primer in under 1 hour if done right. Thats how the real Handyman does it. Time is money but his idea is ok for the homeowner.
Also add salt and voila it’s will set in 5 minutes !
@@AliAhmad-gr6hk Some broth, a potato. Baby, you've got a stew going!
I'm from the U.S. and I'm glad to see some DIY things in the old countries. I just really like the slightly different vocabulary and pronunciation. And it was very helpful. The chamfering part.
Very impressive and thank you for sharing this profession with those who care to care to learn. People! I give this person 4 large stars.
When I was 15 there was a hole in the living-room wall where the doorknob kept hitting the wall each time it was opened. I could see small wooden slats running along in the hole and it was just driving me nuts that no one was doing anything about it. I didn't know WHAT I was doing, but I went into the basement and found a small bag of cement mix. I followed the instructions and mixed up a little batch. I packed it into the hole and smoothed it off. It dried beautifully and looked 100% better than before. The wall was wallpapered so it just looked like a grey spot on the wall. I was just a kid. I filled another hole in a brown hollow door 10 years later. I used some sort of cement that I found in the basement once again, and some brown liquid shoe polish to give it a brown color after it was dry. 10 minutes. 2 ingredients. Your video just reminded me of all that. And oddly enough, just today, I repaired a large old piggy-bank with a hole smashed into the top. Someone dropped something onto it. I gathered up the pieces and jammed them back together with some old rubbery glue that I found that was too old to really work. But I let it dry for two weeks and today I taped over the broken bits and the remaining hole with some layers of thin white medical tape. I'm going to spray paint the entire pig with bright red paint and put him outside on the steps as a garden decoration. He can be company for the gnome. I mean, the pig is very old. From 1970. You don't just throw something like that away. Couple of ingredients once again.
I prefer my primer stirred not shaken.
Having that coffee mug right under where you are painting reminds my of Carly Simons Song: You so vane "Paint in my Coffee, Paint in my Coffee"
Great advise..i'm a painter decorator and do the same with holes. Only i screw the plug in instead of sticking it with the resin mix stuff.
And use the resin wood filler for any deeper parts first and then a lighter plaster joint filler for a feathered edge finish. The heat from the resin wood filler beneath speeds up the drying time the joint filler too.
Keep up the great videos.
I've learnt so much
I have done the same basic repair using drywall mud and needed a screw to screw the plug to the batten inside the wall. I didn't think about using epoxy filler which is a superior method. Excellent!
'...I don't normally make videos about filling holes...'
This is truely an interesting Test Tuesday episode!! :)
Thank you for sharing!
I’ve been doing this for years as I’ve learn in the past when filling holes. It usually takes me max 2 hours because the paint application is quick dry. You don’t really need primer but good job!
Great info. Funny ending. I like the deliberate wall switch...
your comment section was hilarious and ty for the tip, some of us jack of all trades dont know this technique and appreciate showing it to us.
" Fill it with straw or something" The dripping sarcasm was excellent! LOL Thanks for that. I am sure all the drywallers out there are losing their minds - no tape! Yikes! Also, best troll comments yet! Cheers Andy. (EDIT) You had me laughing, real laughing by the end. That was priceless. Best video I've seen this week, hands down.
To speed up the priming process, you can use a spray stain block like polycell or no nonsense (screwfix), dries very quick. Please please don't give time to troll comments....every video is worth the effort, your audience are not all expecting the same material (If that makes sense) 👍
Will be catching up on your podcasts today, which are fantastic by the way......have a great weekend! 👍
Great idea, I never thought to use wood filler to bond the patch. Worked very well, dries very quickly and won't crack.
This is fantastic. I have been an electrical contractor for around 30 yrs. I often wondered how my holes were filled. All I need to know now is by who? Great vid A1 Mukka.
I have been applying soup to my walls using my childs face for many years with remarkable results.

Your questions & answers toward the end are hilarious! "Uh, Dad?" :-)
Looks great, Thanks for the showing how you trim the edge of the patch to help it become even. I love soup, only in a bowl!
That is how I go about repairing holes myself. Perfect finish achieved quickly. Another tip would be that using two part car body filler can work out cheaper. Great vid.
This is great, really well explained and love the twitter comments 😁 - thanks!
I thought I knew all of this, but still watched till the end, because I really like all of your vids. Came to your channel from Ten minutefestool Millard shop. 👍 to that channel as well, I have a festool habit also. Then I learned something new about filler, again, great vid.
Also, enjoyed you openly relaying the trolls comments. Found it funny that people have so little going on that they have the time to go to the effort
Perhaps if you can find time you could as well as tips Tuesday, do toss pot troll Thursday.
I would deffo watch that
👍
Thanks for creating the content, I have learned a lot and enjoy ya channel 👍
Hi Andy, I do something similar, I use a hole saw 3mm bigger than the original hole saw. For example a 76mm hole saw will have an external cut of 76mm and an internal cut of 73mm ( blade 1.5mm on both sides) then use a 79mm hole saw to cut another plug out of a piece of plaster board that will measure approximately 76mm which will fit the original hole perfectly ! Keep the good videos coming mate. Col.
I don't know why anyone would complain. I've used this method myself and been quite happy with it. I'm glad you used a textured roller to apply the paint, as this often matches the original texture. Sometimes, I've used spray-can spackling or even hand-shaped a texture to match existing, whatever the job requires.
Plot twist: This is really a instructional video on how to get plaster and paint in your coffee.
I followed your advice except instead of doing anything you said I applied soup to my child's face and my wall still looks great thanks
Just used this method on a hole in my ceiling worked great saved a fortune on replastering ... thanks
The best way to see if you need to add a final bit of filler in any tiny holes that may remain is to paint over it. Paint has a remarkable ability to highlight any imperfections. Good job.
I have a section of plasterboard to replace where a ceiling light rose was removed, I’ll be using your tips and advise. I just need to find a small off-cut of donor/plasterboard.
Thanks in advance, and ignore those abusive comments, I liked your laid back style and attention to detail.
Love the video and brilliant comments thanks for taking the time to show us how
Thanks for the demo, I am just learning to do this stuff to fix all the giant drywall anchor holes in my apartment. loved the unexpected hilarity Q&A, could tone down the crudeness a wee bit but otherwise had a good larf.
That's very clever technique. Thanks for sharing.
"Uhh, DAD"? Priceless !!! Rolling on floor with laughter.
That was smooth move at the end where you point at a wall you didn't fix.
His job was so good even he didn't know where it was.
Ah but you didn't watch till the end did you? Another plot twist!
That was informative and funny. Thanks for calling out the know-it-all's and nasty trolls. It was also nice of your dad to post that encouraging comment via an alias.
Cheers mate!
Informative, with hilarious comments and responses. Many thanks.
At first I was feeling salty about the video but after hearing the comments you read I don't want to that guy great video 👍✌️
This is the first of your videos I've watched and I've actually subscribed, which is a first as well. I've had to make this type of repair before and I'm sure I'll have to make it again. This video will surely help tremendously. My biggest problem lies in the fact that each and every painted wall in my house has some type of texture on it and not every room is the same. I find it almost impossible to match the texture when repairing/replacing such a small area and the repaired area is always noticeable because of that reason. Maybe you have done a video on that; I'll have to check!
LOVED the review readings. Friggin awesome. Subscribed.
I love it the completely different wall on the end , brilliant 😉🤣
Love the comments you got. there's easier ways to do this, but a good job.
I've used bondo for rebuilding rotted wood in doors and other places where you need to build out or replace wood -- but for filling drywall, 20 minute drywall compound is what you really want. Cheaper, and way easier to deal with. As fast or faster than bondo.
you also have 5 minutes compound.
@@nelsoncasari5435 I have some of that -- it's OLD OLD 20 minute compound. It seems to set faster (or at least give you less working time) as it get older.
Good job good video. Not how I would have done it ( painter/ taper 35 years) but the you did what you set out to do. A one day repair. Well done.
I thought you offered good sound advice, which will save viewers a lot of time and money for those wishing to undertake such a job. Additionally, I found your video well put together with a level of entertainment thrown in so 10/10 for your efforts.
It's a good idea, I like it, however, if you show a different wall as a finished project, you could've left the hole in the wall and put a shoe rack in front of it :D
Hi Andy, after spending many, many years pulling wire in homes, I’ve found it better to pull the baseboard, cut your mouse hole behind the baseboard then just replace it and repair the caulk. Cutting holes in a customers wall is problematic especially if they are custom colours. 9 times out of 10 the customer doesn’t have any more paint.
Yeah tell me about it "Did you keep any touch up paint?" ...blank looks 🤣. Trouble here is that baseboards are normally so low you hit the baseplate of the stud wall. 👍
Gosforth Handyman I’m in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, normally we have 21/2” baseboard with 1/12” soleplates. That leaves about 3/4” working space.
That’s smart!
@@paulg5163 1/12" is quite a thin soulplate!
I use allot of Bondo at work. One trick I use to save time, apply a pice of wax paper onto your mixing board with spray adhesive and when you're done you can just peel it off and you have a clean mixing board. Cuts down on the dust also.
Great idea to take from the comment section.
Subbed for the humor, great comments and excellent video. Well done!
Good video !
I'd suggest a bit of string around the wood to pull it forward while putting the screws in.
Cheers bud! Yeah string works. 👍
Ahh, my old friend Bondo! He does so many things.
A well produced and chilled out video. Made me laugh. This video was not as boring as you thought. Will use you plan to fill in some old storage heater sockets. Cracking Grommet
As a drywall finisher of 18 years I might have a different approach then your video shows. But I loved your video
My professional opinion is that your patch is a perfect solution for somebody that wants to do a patch in a day and have it painted the same day. For those who say it would crack it wouldn't if you applied that product properly. Nice video
I enjoyed your video, but I think using a bit of drywall mud would be a better solution, less steps, easier to use. Pretty much the same result with a touch more waiting for it to set. But I do like the backing idea with the wood, that's a smart move. Thanks for the video and advice.
I've mucked around with carfiller since seeing you use it, I got rid of a crack on a ceiling along the join of two pieces of plasterboard by putting a one inch wide layer over it and feathered it out with drywall filler, no sign of it returning and it had been caulked twice before and always came back.
Thanks for that comment. I have some ceiling cracks at one of my houses. I never thought to use Andy's Bondo method to patch them!
LMAO thanks for the laugh at the end- payment for watching the video till the end! LOVE IT
I never thought a video about repairing wall could be so funny. Thank you.
Lovely video. I love the bit for the trolls.
Cheers bud! Gotta love them trolls! 😂👊
A dab of PVA or gap filling adhesive is great for sticking the batten into the back of the hole. PVA primer on the raw edge of the boards is also a good idea, though not if you don’t have time for it to dry. 😉
I usually find the skim falls off the cut piece of board. It probably needs a second coat in the middle. But a second coat fills it over easily enough.
The cup of tea is the most essential, the rest is just filler:))) good video though:))
I really appreciated the end, where you showed us what a lovely job the original builder did of another section of wall. LOL
Nicely done! very professional, thanks for the great tips.
“Its basically the same as car body filler as far as I’m concerned” ....haha love it
Except the wall won’t rust away. 😂
Why would you glue the plasterboard to the timber with resin when u can just screw it to the timber?
Takes longer and Makes the patch proud too 🤦🏻♂️
@@ModernGentleman well, at least he didn't use soup.
@@zorroonmilkavitch1840 what?
@@bigrichard660 yeah I read that post it was kind of botched up but basically what I was trying to say was by taking a hole saw on a drill and cutting all your patches and cleaning the whole up with a hole saw you just insert the round patch with excess paper as your tape basically it's a butterfly patch but it's round
chris ismail - he also said in the video that you can screw it on. Pay attention everybody.
Thank you, you make the repairs look easy can’t wait to try the repair on my wall. R.Luna
great Job!...I will use this technique on some holes on my walls!...Thanks!
That was hilarious, not even where the patch was, had me rolling . Lol. Thanks
When it comes to chamfers you don't want to cut corners.
😊 Just don’t do like my neighbor did. After watching this video yesterday He came he came to my house with a 20+ year old router he had never used and asked for a chamfering router bit (he didn’t know what a chamfering bit was but he “just knew I would have one” ) I asked what angle, and what he was using it for. He said he didn’t know what angle and showed me this video. Told him you can’t use a router on drywall use a knife. He didn’t have a knife and insisted he wanted to use the router on the patch and in the kitchen...... He had a hole saw...... So I gave him an old high speed router bit, a scrap of drywall and a work table and a scrap of wood and clamps. Using the piece of wood I clamped it down and showed him to use the router, safety glasses, and dust mask and hah him test the router on the drywall scrap. Needless to say he was covered head to toe in drywall dust. He didn’t realize it and wanted to go “chamfer the edges in the kitchen. I showed him a picture of what he looked like and He wanted to anyway and said he would vacuum it. He had his vacuum out and routed it anyway. He again was covered with drywall dust as was his kitchen and most of the first floor. He said why didn’t you tell me. I told you 3 times I said. I said since you woke me up from a dead sleep earlier and didn’t ask if I would help you, you just started barking orders I would try to help. When you still wouldn’t listen you got Caspered. You still wouldn’t listen so your house got Caspered. I said I’m going home to get 2-3 hours of sleep. I’ll get up and help you patch the wall. He asked if it would be finished in time. I said yes BROTHER it will be finished in time before your birthday party..... Oh yeah..... Happy Birthday!
I guess that will teach him to not wake me up before he is supposed to!!!! .... BROTHERS! 😊😊😊😊😊😊. Yes he is my neighbor....

Is there a corresponding video on how to repair dents in a car body with drywall mud?
Yes there is. It was posted right after the "Repairing cement foundations with auto body filler." vid.
That’s a great repair
I had an issue on drywall
here in Australia we call it GypRock
the toilet roll holder was ripped out and it had to go back to the same spot so i used a holesaw like you did and a product called fast dry liquid nails
and I got some jumbo oversize popsicle sticks the really big ones put some glue on those placed them into the hole in the wall after holes swing it round
pulled them toward me with a piece of string
granted I had the luxury of letting it dry overnight
then drilled a fresh plug with the same holesaw out of a patch panel and liquid nails that in
and then used plaster topcoat to seal it all up and that was stronger than what it was to start with
and I could re-drill holes and rehang the toilet roll holder off it without any dramas
in fact I think it was so strong it would hold a towel rail with wet towels on it no problem......!!
It’s a brilliant repair
Just brilliant!! Oh...and helpful....oh....and funny!! Do more! PLEASE! ..thank you..
10:53 - "pack ya wahl full o' straw or somethin like that instead" :D
why not just do it like in the old days and just stuff the hole with newspaper then some plaster over the hole. lol
His patch job was so good, he couldn't find it at the end!
That's the joke :)
Great stuff. Love the patter!
