How not to fill a hole lol,,, This guy is not a tradesman,,, What a bodge up. Not how I'd have done it,,, Someone should teach this bloke how to do it properly,,, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah...... Been in the industry for years and i have seen many a tradesman do heaps worse ( ie - Newspaper , Cardboard etc )...... This bloke is showing the basics and he got the exact result that ANYONE is looking for.... As for all the tools with their opinions - please troll someone else and go and buy a left hand screwdriver.....
Unfortunately there are many couch experts who have no idea as to what really happens on job sites, and live in a world of fantasy. I would like to see some of them perform a task they have not been forewarned about, and without any tools for the job, as I found myself on this occasion. P.S. This repair is now 4 years old, and is impossible to locate on the finished painted wall.
I’ve seen a lot of comment trying to discredit this mans work but I see nothing wrong with it. I have a hole in my apartment wall that my girlfriend did. This isn’t a bad video by any means. Now I’m able to fix my wall without having to call someone over & having to pay or telling my landlord what happened. That’s the best part of this video.
Glad you found my video useful. It was intended to show just how easy it is to fix a hole with minimum tools, and materials. P.S. I pay little attention to the trolls.
my dad passed away a couple of months ago and i never got the chance to fix my room with him so here i am. trying to look at as many videos for fixing a drywall hole and i thank you for this video 🥺
Sorry to hear about your Dad. Do as much research you can, then simply take your time doing the repair, with whatever method you feel comfortable with. I have a slightly different repair video you might like, by watching both you will have a better understanding of just how easy it is to do wall repairs yourself. ruclips.net/video/JmcR9TW4mM0/видео.html
So I’m just here doing community service for a dog shelter and I told the ladies I knew what I was doing (completely lied) when they asked if I could repaid a hole in the wall. That being said you were the first video I clicked on and I’m basically an expert! Very informative. Thank you!

Good work sir, I'm plastering a hole in the wall today following this method. Hey and forget about the hater comments, your way uses common sense, tools on hand and the end result. Thank you
People often think there is only one way to do things, and everyone else is wrong. The point of this video, was to show just how easy it is to improvise when doing wall repairs, and still get good results.
My partner showed me a hole in the wall he was embarrassed by and used to cover with a painting. I told him it was okay and an easy fix. This video has proved that! Thank you so much for informing on how to fix it. 😊

I did the exact same repair with the small piece of 2x3 wood and some extra drywall. Except, I bevelled all the edges (wall and filler piece). About a decade later, I ran the repair by a drywall guy and he told me that instead of making the filler panel square, his recommendation was to use a round shaped filler panel utilizing an appropriate sized kitchen pot lid as a template. He told me that this would prevent possible filler cracking in the corners.
Gary regarding any rude comments...unfortunately it's new way of the world...don't give them any time. This was really useful for me, thankyou for the effort.
There are many ways to do repairs, it all depends on what you have available on the day of the repair. But there are some armchair experts who think there is only one way... There's.. haha. P.S. I normally use this method when I have my tools with me. 📌 ruclips.net/video/JmcR9TW4mM0/видео.html

To all you negative asses, he did it his way, and end result it ended up professional look, and it worked. Who cares how he did it, it was to help those who needed a way to fix a wall. I say Gary you impressed me as the end result turned out nice
Thank you for your kind words. I always find it amusing that there are so many armchair experts out there, and none of them have any videos on their RUclips channel. P.S. I have a better instruction video below, (when I had all my tools with me.) ruclips.net/video/JmcR9TW4mM0/видео.html
It's a shotty job. Anyone that showed up with a Wal-Mart 3 pack of plastic putty knives would have been gone immediately. That flex in the patch piece as you mud is a no no. Look up wing patch or California patch and for God's sake get a metal tapping knife. I'd like to see that patch with a parallel flash light. And you should never sand through mesh tape. There are professionals with quality instructional videos. The rest of us professionals are doing the work in real life. I don't post car mechanic videos because I'm a hobbyist and not a seasoned professional
Thanks for the great video. I’ve done drywall repair way back like maybe 15 years ago, but kinda needed a bit of a refresh course. This is basically how I remember doing it. Our youngest son, who’s 7, is autistic. He’s put several nice sized holes in the wall of his bedroom and I’ve gotta fix them. Thanks again for the great video.
This is a tutorial I was looking for. I work in a school building where a few classroom walls have holes caused by the doorknobs. Now, I can easily repair them thanks to your video. Thanks again Garry

Respect to the worker.... We can learn from each other and learn from each other mistakes. Repairing a drywall is simple; don't need a rocket siencetist. Its a decent job.

@@dorisadams9931 I believe everyone is entitled to an oppinion, I only wish they would express themselves with some tact, instead of acting like idiots and bullies.
Followed the instructions and it actually worked, only thing I did different was that I added an extra screw through the middle of the plasterboard cut out to keep it from moving at all, thanks a lot mate.
Thanks. That was a great lesson. I had a disturbed “tenant”, living in a finished room in my garage. He slammed his fist thru the half inch sheet rock in several places. I am going to use your technique. Thumbs up!

Thanks Sara. Many people think its OK to act foolish when commenting. If they first took the time to read the video description, most negative comments would not exist.
What an idiotic thought. The comments that you feel are "rude" are not at all but rather to help viewers realize that while this guy is well intentioned, the instruction is incorrect. There ARE qualified people out here that can recognize bad advice, and feel it necessary to speak out.

I am no expert but I did work for U.S.G in Galena Park for nineteen years and was in the Quality Control Dept. The job you did was done nicely but I just wanted to know why was the sheetrock installed on backwards. There is an ink code on back of the sheetrock that will tell you the date and time and even the shift who made the sheetrock. I even had to inspect the sheetrock for thickness, strength and water absorption on the Water resistant sheetrock. Other than the sheetrock being installed backwards. You did an exceptional job. Thanks for taking your time to make the video. Good day from Houston.
I was on another non related job, and sourced the board out of a dump bin, from the front of the property. I also borrowed tools that were available onsite, to complete the repair.

Am a pro carpenter, painter, Mason ect 28yrs.i don't even use the backer board.i cut my patch and square hole to fit so tightly and snug it does not fall into wall.when you get good at cutting the whole and patch to fit perfectly tight you don't need backing
@@GarryPurcell yes you use a speed-square to make sure the patch piece and hole is perfectly square .I cut the patch first then put over hole to mark n cut tight.u can gradually shave patch or hole to fit nice and tight n slowly tightly fit flush.also don't turn the patch piece with dark side facing outward cause you will need much more spackle n labour to cover dark side
@@GarryPurcell there a beveled way to shave the patch so that it never can fall inside wall because you have no backing by cutting patching like 1 /16 bigger than hole n gradually shave it beveled to fit tight

Don't know why this came up on my feed but I'm grateful :D Nice neat job and the trick of adding a small slat behind the hole is a great tip for supporting the section of replacement plasterboard. I love fixing things and have done a few patches like this in the last few years - the first one I did was a shallow hole where I had to move an electric cable a few inches - builders left cable in a daft place - but what did I use to create some scaffold for the plaster within the hole?? Yes, a few balls of newspaper! Worked a treat but the trick is to add a few slops of filler onto the newspaper balls after plugging them into the gap and smooth them towards the hole edges; however, don't try to fill the hole/crevice completely to finish the job in one shot. Instead, let the thing dry; then come back in a couple of days and you've got a solid but rough and shallow hole that will easily adhere the final small wodge of filler. This will be easy to smooth off when wet cause it's not too thick; then come back in another couple of days and sand, paint and you're done.
I personally would use the method shown with the timber like you have but I’d fix it around the edge of the hole so that the edges are solid rather than the wood down the centre so that there’s movement on the joints
Thanks. On the day of this repair, I had no tools with me, I raided a dump bin, and borrowed some tools to do this repair, ( Check the video description). P.S. I have a better insruction video below, (when I had all my tools with me.) ruclips.net/video/JmcR9TW4mM0/видео.html

I'd suggest this other video I made, would be more suitable for fixing the ceiling. This method has anchor points for the repair piece, so it will hold its position better for you. ruclips.net/video/JmcR9TW4mM0/видео.html
I prefer to measure the hole as a square, cut a piece of plasterboard to that size, hold it over the hole and Stanley knife around it. Then it fits perfectly. I have done this so it fits so well it doesn't need any support. Depends on the wall of course.
Alot of negative comments. I guess everyone is an expert. I've done drywall work all my life ' Hey if that works for you that's all that matters. I'm more impressed that have replied to so many comments. I'm sure Alot have found the video helpfull and if I was in a pinch I'd use this method So I'm giving you a 👍
Thank you for your kind words, most people don't bother to read the video description before commenting. I've seen walls repaired with Rolled up Paper backing, Drywall backing, Chicken wire covered in Newspaper, Corrugated Cardboard backing, Burlap Sack backing, and all held up well, some for close to 100 years.

Very true but the proof is in the end result, innit? This was a great job done without full access to tools, materials etc You can't see any blemish on the wall when job is complete so that is good enough for me!
Great job there, also folks, when you go to sanding it, do not use an electric sander, but use your hand with sand paper like this gentlemen is using. I learned the hard way using an orbital sander, yes she did the job well, but the silica within the plaster will coat the sanders brushes, then you have to take the sander apart and replace the brushes ..which is more time, and money.
I can't believe you did not screw the sheetrock patch to the support board or stick. this is just crazy. i have been doing this for years and the patches are amazingly strong.
Basically how I learned it, we called it a "hot patch". I have a cordless dewalt dry wall cut out tool I use. I dont always use tape. Ive used paint stirrers for small holes especially if im on the fly.
I've done this before but I screw the new piece of dry wall to the timber to fix it so it doesn't move. Or you can use a cut piece of dry wall instead of timber
Its not really necessary, as the timber is just a backing. P.S. If your repairing a wall for the first time, you might like this video as well. ruclips.net/video/JmcR9TW4mM0/видео.html By watching both, you will get a better understanding as to how easy it is to DIY.
Well done by showing using just simple tools to do a job well, Mr. Garry Purcell. My uncle, a former Col of the SAS taught me guns and patch things up using basic tools too.
The cut out was put in backwards, and it was taped and puttied elevated from the wall around it. It's best to let the cut out recess a little as that's much easier to fill. Not to mention, doing a home repair shouldn't be accompanied by "Doesn't have to be perfect, don't have to be too particular, doesn't have to be exact" the whole time you're doing it.
It makes little difference for a small hole in an internal wall, as long as you give a primer coating providing good tooth, for the final coat of paint.

Nice concept but I thought I was going to have a stroke with his crooked cuts. Whenever I cut drywall I usually cut back to the studs, but this one was borderline cut or patch. Thought he was going to cut a finger off. And get a workbench. What was he cutting on? Microwave or an AV receiver? Spackel? Too large of a hole. Use mud. Especially if you are using tape. Use a taping knife. Wet it to keep material from clumping and dragging across workspace. End result...did it matter, not really. Just pride mainly. Plus I can clean up alot less with a wet sponge instead of sanding. Thanks for the idea though and the bravery of putting this up. Has over a million views so that's quite an accomplishment in itself.

Spencer C wow you annoying
So I’m just here doing community service for a dog shelter and I told the ladies I knew what I was doing (completely lied) when they asked if I could repaid a hole in the wall. That being said you were the first video I clicked on and I’m basically an expert! Very informative. Thank you!

@@nastygaming6381 Thank You for the Thumbs Up.
Good work sir, I'm plastering a hole in the wall today following this method. Hey and forget about the hater comments, your way uses common sense, tools on hand and the end result. Thank you
People often think there is only one way to do things, and everyone else is wrong.
The point of this video, was to show just how easy it is to improvise when doing wall repairs, and still get good results.
My partner showed me a hole in the wall he was embarrassed by and used to cover with a painting. I told him it was okay and an easy fix. This video has proved that! Thank you so much for informing on how to fix it. 😊
Glad it was helpful!

I did the exact same repair with the small piece of 2x3 wood and some extra drywall. Except, I bevelled all the edges (wall and filler piece). About a decade later, I ran the repair by a drywall guy and he told me that instead of making the filler panel square, his recommendation was to use a round shaped filler panel utilizing an appropriate sized kitchen pot lid as a template. He told me that this would prevent possible filler cracking in the corners.
Thanks for the info.
I normally use this method when I have my tools with me.

Amen brother you cannot satisfy anyone .
It's a shotty job. Anyone that showed up with a Wal-Mart 3 pack of plastic putty knives would have been gone immediately. That flex in the patch piece as you mud is a no no. Look up wing patch or California patch and for God's sake get a metal tapping knife. I'd like to see that patch with a parallel flash light. And you should never sand through mesh tape. There are professionals with quality instructional videos. The rest of us professionals are doing the work in real life. I don't post car mechanic videos because I'm a hobbyist and not a seasoned professional
Thanks for the great video. I’ve done drywall repair way back like maybe 15 years ago, but kinda needed a bit of a refresh course. This is basically how I remember doing it.

Thanks Sara.
Many people think its OK to act foolish when commenting.
If they first took the time to read the video description, most negative comments would not exist.
Sara Brown...well said
Exactly, if you don't like how he does it make your own video!
What an idiotic thought. The comments that you feel are "rude" are not at all but rather to help viewers realize that while this guy is well intentioned, the instruction is incorrect. There ARE qualified people out here that can recognize bad advice, and feel it necessary to speak out.
The comments are from people with anger issues who punched a hole through their wall, u think they’re gonna be civil? 😂
Don’t listen to all the “professionals” in the comments you do you garry! cheers for the video.

I am no expert but I did work for U.S.G in Galena Park for nineteen years and was in the Quality Control Dept. The job you did was done nicely but I just wanted to know why was the sheetrock installed on backwards. There is an ink code on back of the sheetrock that will tell you the date and time and even the shift who made the sheetrock. I even had to inspect the sheetrock for thickness, strength and water absorption on the Water resistant sheetrock. Other than the sheetrock being installed backwards. You did an exceptional job. Thanks for taking your time to make the video. Good day from Houston.
I was on another non related job, and sourced the board out of a dump bin, from the front of the property. I also borrowed tools that were available onsite, to complete the repair.

Am a pro carpenter, painter, Mason ect 28yrs.i don't even use the backer board.i cut my patch and square hole to fit so tightly and snug it does not fall into wall.when you get good at cutting the whole and patch to fit perfectly tight you don't need backing
Slow....why not sqaure hole up first?I just take a cordless sawzall shallow cut,u take to long with that knife.Could have had five holes repaired.
I'm not sure I could cut a square to those tolerances you mention, but its nice to know the repair could have be done that way.
Thank You.
@@GarryPurcell yes you use a speed-square to make sure the patch piece and hole is perfectly square .I cut the patch first then put over hole to mark n cut tight.u can gradually shave patch or hole to fit nice and tight n slowly tightly fit flush.also don't turn the patch piece with dark side facing outward cause you will need much more spackle n labour to cover dark side
@@GarryPurcell there a beveled way to shave the patch so that it never can fall inside wall because you have no backing by cutting patching like 1 /16 bigger than hole n gradually shave it beveled to fit tight

If you have any questions you would like answered, feel free to ask, and I'll do my best to help you.
Why did you put the patch with the back side out?
It makes little difference for a small patch on a central wall, as long as the patch has an undercoat, the topcoat will have some tooth to grip.

Don't know why this came up on my feed but I'm grateful :D Nice neat job and the trick of adding a small slat behind the hole is a great tip for supporting the section of replacement plasterboard.
I love fixing things and have done a few patches like this in the last few years - the first one I did was a shallow hole where I had to move an electric cable a few inches - builders left cable in a daft place - but what did I use to create some scaffold for the plaster within the hole?? Yes, a few balls of newspaper! Worked a treat but the trick is to add a few slops of filler onto the newspaper balls after plugging them into the gap and smooth them towards the hole edges; however, don't try to fill the hole/crevice completely to finish the job in one shot. Instead, let the thing dry; then come back in a couple of days and you've got a solid but rough and shallow hole that will easily adhere the final small wodge of filler. This will be easy to smooth off when wet cause it's not too thick; then come back in another couple of days and sand, paint and you're done.
There are plenty of ways to repair wall damage, and you don't need to have expensive tools to do it.
Who else put a whole in there wall and is trying to fix it themselves? Just me? Ok
Same 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Be sure to check out my other wall repair video.
ruclips.net/video/JmcR9TW4mM0/видео.html
I personally would use the method shown with the timber like you have but I’d fix it around the edge of the hole so that the edges are solid rather than the wood down the centre so that there’s movement on the joints

I suggest looking for a ceiling turtorial tho
I'd suggest this other video I made, would be more suitable for fixing the ceiling. This method has anchor points for the repair piece, so it will hold its position better for you.
ruclips.net/video/JmcR9TW4mM0/видео.html
I prefer to measure the hole as a square, cut a piece of plasterboard to that size, hold it over the hole and Stanley knife around it. Then it fits perfectly. I have done this so it fits so well it doesn't need any support. Depends on the wall of course.
Thank you for confirming that this method works.
As a professional, that's also what I do with holes up to about double that size.
Alot of negative comments. I guess everyone is an expert.
I've done drywall work all my life ' Hey if that works for you that's all that matters. I'm more impressed that have replied to so many comments. I'm sure Alot have found the video helpfull and if I was in a pinch I'd use this method
So I'm giving you a 👍
Thank you for your kind words, most people don't bother to read the video description before commenting.
I've seen walls repaired with Rolled up Paper backing, Drywall backing, Chicken wire covered in Newspaper, Corrugated Cardboard backing, Burlap Sack backing, and all held up well, some for close to 100 years.
I had to borrow and scrounge what i could to complete the task at hand.
P.S. When I have all my tools with me I normally use the method below to repair walls.

Yeah Alot of people jump to conclusions and are quick to judge without knowing the facts.
So yeah you handled the comments well.
@@keithclark486 Again thank you for your kind words.
I wish you and your family, all the best for the coming festive season.
Very true but the proof is in the end result, innit? This was a great job done without full access to tools, materials etc You can't see any blemish on the wall when job is complete so that is good enough for me!
Great job there, also folks, when you go to sanding it, do not use an electric sander, but use your hand with sand paper like this gentlemen is using. I learned the hard way using an orbital sander, yes she did the job well, but the silica within the plaster will coat the sanders brushes, then you have to take the sander apart and replace the brushes ..which is more time, and money.
Thanks for handy information regarding sanding.
I can't believe you did not screw the sheetrock patch to the support board or stick. this is just crazy. i have been doing this for years and the patches are amazingly strong.
Please Read the Video Description, before commenting any further.
Basically how I learned it, we called it a "hot patch". I have a cordless dewalt dry wall cut out tool I use. I dont always use tape. Ive used paint stirrers for small holes especially if im on the fly.
You hit it on the head.
You make do with what's available at the time.
Turned out well, definitely recommend screwing the board to the backing timber to give it more strength then scrim tape alone
Good work 👍🏻
Good advice regarding the screw.
I've done this before but I screw the new piece of dry wall to the timber to fix it so it doesn't move. Or you can use a cut piece of dry wall instead of timber
Thanks for sharing how you repair your walls.
I normally use this method below.

Would you not need to glue the new piece to the wood ?
Its not really necessary, as the timber is just a backing.

Well done by showing using just simple tools to do a job well, Mr. Garry Purcell.
My uncle, a former Col of the SAS taught me guns and patch things up using basic tools too.
That was what I'm trying to show in this video, that you don't need fancy tools to make an acceptable repair.
The cut out was put in backwards, and it was taped and puttied elevated from the wall around it. It's best to let the cut out recess a little as that's much easier to fill. Not to mention, doing a home repair shouldn't be accompanied by "Doesn't have to be perfect, don't have to be too particular, doesn't have to be exact" the whole time you're doing it.
You have some good pointers in your comment.
Why are you putting the peace of drywall backwards?
It makes little difference for a small hole in an internal wall, as long as you give a primer coating providing good tooth, for the final coat of paint.
Gary.... great approach and great results. Simple, straightforward. Keep the videos coming!
I have another wall repair you might like, using a few more tools.

I so chuckled before I came into the comments section. I knew I was not the only one
As long as you read the Video Description, you'll understand why the repair was done this way.

I just filled in a hole in the wall that me (13 year old ) and my 9 year old sister made a hole and we had none of these material but this is what we used
Piece of cardboard
White paint
White Clay
Hot glue and prayers that our parents wouldn't find out.
I wish you Good luck, regarding your parents not finding out.
Thank you
Yes Gary.. I removed a medicine cabinet and used wood for filler.. cut Sheetrock and fiber taped ..then plastered and sanded.. I'm very very pleased. 😁

Nice concept but I thought I was going to have a stroke with his crooked cuts. Whenever I cut drywall I usually cut back to the studs, but this one was borderline cut or patch. Thought he was going to cut a finger off. And get a workbench. What was he cutting on? Microwave or an AV receiver? Spackel? Too large of a hole. Use mud. Especially if you are using tape. Use a taping knife. Wet it to keep material from clumping and dragging across workspace. End result...did it matter, not really. Just pride mainly. Plus I can clean up alot less with a wet sponge instead of sanding. Thanks for the idea though and the bravery of putting this up. Has over a million views so that's quite an accomplishment in itself.
If you read the video description, it explains why the repair was done this way.
P.S. I have a better instruction video below, (when I had all my tools with me.)

Gary since u had 2 pieces of wood wooden it make the repair a lot stronger if you installed wood pieces 1 to far left 1 to the far right just saying
I was thinking the same thing. That way he not only would have had a better fit but also the convenience of stabilizing both sides.
I normally do use two pieces of wood.
ruclips.net/video/JmcR9TW4mM0/видео.html
But on the day of this video I didn't have my tools with me, and had to borrow some, and I sourced materials out of a dump bin. (I only found two screws onsite that I could use for the repair).
The video description has more details.
@@GarryPurcell bahahaha bullshit now the excuse roll in you had a knife and scraper you could of done the job quicker just using compound and scrap pieces of plasterboard.
Awesome 👏🏽 I have to repair a similar size hole on my dads living room wall now can do it by myself thank you so much for sharing your repair project.
Glad I could help

Love your work Garry. Don’t mind the naysayers
Thanks for your kind words
I don't pay much attention to John, he seems to have an inferiority complex. haha.
P.S. I'm having some fun with him at the moment, his posts are becoming rather outrageous.
His voice reminds me of a childhood movie when they always have a mysterious man telling what's going on
Nothing like a good horror movie just before bedtime.😂
Thanks for the help, Gary! Patching an old medicine cabinet hole in the bathroom & this video was perfect for the job!
Glad it helped!
