  • A fast and easy way to patch a large hole in plasterboard walls
    Here is a simple way for repairing a large hole in plasterboard walls.
    You will only need a few simple tools to repair the drywall.
    A Straight edge, a Sharp stanley knife or similar, a Scrap piece of plasterboard (drywall), some plaster tape, a Plaster spreader, a short piece of timber, a few screws, an Electric Drill and a small drill bit, a Pencil and some premixed plaster filler, and some paint and brushes to cover the finished repair.
    I was asked if I could repair some large drywall holes in the plasterboard walls of this rental property.
    So I decided to make a short video, showing how I went about repairing the plasterboard, and restored them back to new condition.
    On the day of the repair, I was onsite doing unrelated work, and didn't have all my tools with me.
    I sourced some of bits I used from a dumpmaster bin out the front of the property.
    📌 P.S. I have a better instruction video below, (when I had all my tools with me.)

    The Plasterboard is called Gyprock and its made by CSR, its coated on both sides with grey paper. (found onsite)
    The tape is fiberglass and made specially for Plaster.
    Screws can be anything as long as they are countersunk. (found onsite)
    The wood I used was a piece of scrap timber. (found onsite)
    Plaster spak. (found onsite)

    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 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.

      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

    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.

    Thanks for the video but I would definitely glue/screw the small patch onto the backing timber to make it 100% solid.
