Very nice. Fully explained and to the point. I appreciate it.
Thanks I appreciate your comment! 😁👍
I really like your zip lock idea for mixing a small amount of mud. Really like your good taste in music. Going to subscribe! 👍
Thanks I really appreciate it, I use that trick all the time mixing stuff like hydraulic cement or 5 minute mud, makes the mixing process fast and clean 😁👍
Just saw your video. Great job. I wished I had known about those clips a long time ago. Many years ago I had a water leak under living room slab. The plumbers knocked five holes in the walls making repairs and re-routing hot water {pex} line up in attic. My insurance contractor refused to patch all the holes in the walls and paint for the $950 that was set aside for these repairs. I offered to cover my $1000.00 deductible by doing the repairs myself. Clearly the "KEY" is getting the patch level with the wall. I can see where the clips would help. I did okay, but this would have reduced time a lot. A peace of advice, if the person knocking the holes in the walls does not have to fix them, watch them carefully. Thank you.
Thanks, I'm sorry to hear you had to deal with that, one thing I should have mentioned in this video is that if you're using the mesh tape you have to use fast setting compound or else it is a nightmare to cover up the tape. I think that's where a lot of people are running into issues, and I will probably do a video on that in the future.
You are totally right. If they don't have to repair the damage that they caused, I would not call that a repair.
First comment. This is super helpful gonna buy a set for of these clips just for my junk drawer. Would be nice to have these for an emergency.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you sir
No problem 😁👍
If you're looking for ideas one that I have seen happen to drywall a lot is where someone trips and falls... Happens a lot especially with alcohol. As somebody who trips and falls on a daily basis I have on more than one occasion messed up a wall when you think you can just catch yourself with one. Granted that would take a bigger piece of fake wall but you could go through the steps of cutting the paint seam with the razor and popping that part of the sheet out from behind and replacing that whole piece of drywall. Sometimes it's just too big for a patch. You could then use that same prop to demonstrate patching somebody stepping through the ceiling or completely coming through as that happens quite often. One thing that we have had to deal with before is ceiling problems with texture and that spray on texture stuff... Another topic you could touch on is wet problems. When you have a water leak it adds a whole another dimension especially if it wasn't caught right away... You could go over using vinegar or borax or store-bought mold killers... Kilz paint, different ingredients people mix into regular primer... That would give you a whole lot more topics you could cover without having to get into the actual plumbing topic it would add a whole lot more options just dealing with the aftermath of water and drywall getting together.
Clips are very interesting. Never seen them before here. Handy of you dont have a 1 x4 and saw hanging around.. just need the drywall. You could also do a california patch.
Thanks @JS
I'm going to do the 1x4 method you're talking about coming up soon. I actually did a California patch video recently. Here's the link if you want to check it out.

I agree with you on the clips basically being comparable to using wood blocks. I've only done one patch before mostly I let somebody else handle that kind of thing but my method was pieces of 2x4 and my reason was a doorknob hole 🚪 🕳️ I went with pretty long ones and I just stacked them in there like studs flush against each other. My thinking was it was going to keep the door knob from doing that again worst case scenario you could touch up any reoccurrence with spackle. You know the 2x4s kind of spread out the load and they were also braced against the other piece of drywall in the next room. So it spreads the load out between two sheets of drywall. The only reason I can think the clips would be better and there are some reasons are apartments. A lot of people doing this kind of thing are just trying to get there $600 deposit back when they have to change apartments. People in apartments generally don't have wood. The flaw with that logic is they generally don't have anything else either so they're going to be making a trip to Lowe's anyway and they could just as easily pick up some scraps from the bin. So the only advantage to the clips would be if you're going to get them proactively to have on hand as a prep... Maybe you know you have a temper and smooth flawless walls get on your nerves... Or you're a bad shot when you go to punch somebody... You tend to fling the door open making those Cosmo Kramer kind of entrances... Whatever the reason you think you're going to knock a hole in a wall... Then instead of having to make room in your apartment for blocks of various sizes making room for the plastic bag of clips seems a lot more doable in a one-bedroom apartment.
Those free wooden paint stirrers will serve the purpose well enough.
Great content 👍👍
😁👍
Fibafuse is superior to the mesh tape when it comes to repeat cracks this is great content
Thanks! I'll look into it and try it out
What if the drywall patch butts up against a stud and there is no way to get the clip under the stud?
My personal opinion, if you have a patch and you are butting up against a stud that's a good thing, what I would do is either cut the drywall so that it lands halfway on the stud so you can attach to the stud on that side and the clips on the other or (what I would do) cut past the stud to where the stud is in the middle of your patch, this makes for a very strong patch and just use the clips on either side of the stud and screwed directly to the stud in the middle.
I hope this helps let me know if you have any other questions would love to help more. 😁👍
Is it necessary to use all 4 clips? Could you get away with 2 clips?
You could definitely get away with just two clips depending on the size of the patch. If it's on the smaller end I would say two clips would be fine. My personal opinion on the clips is if you have a piece of wood to put behind the wall you don't need any clips or you could use my favorite method which is this one 😁👍

I can definitely see why the clips would be a good idea for beginners. You don’t have to cut a board or worry about accidentally dropping the board down the cavity of the wall.
I still think you’re video where you just uses tape and mud in a bag is the best beginner solution.

Very true!
For a whole that small you don't need clips, you can use a mesh wall patch and mud over it then knock it down and paint problem solved. I can see these clips being perfect for larger applications, but for smaller wholes it adds unnecessary work
I was just using this as an example board for the clips If I went much bigger I would be floating off the edge of the board. I will be doing a video on that type of patch in the future for sure👍
Cigar promoters it’s very obvious that he was using this as an example hole. I think it’s funny how everyone has an opinion on how a sheet rock patch should be done. I look at this guy as someone just giving out good ideas for those people who aren’t real good with repairs. So it’s like the simple way to do things. You can buy these clips on Amazon and do this easy.
