    I was all ready to ask how to match the texture input you answered it thanks. I've seen many many repairs people have done where the smooth mid can be seen through the paint. A guy at work said primer on the mud should work.

    When I repair a hole, I make the cuts tapered inward, and shape the patch (plug) the same way. Then I put drywall compound on the edges of the patch (much like doing a brick) and press into place. Then clean the excess compound with the trowels. When it is done properly, the finished repair is completely invisible.

    Instead of using sandpaper you can always use a wet rag to smooth it down and get it even with the rest of the wall. I think it’s less messy but it’s all preference.

      Wade Long V kicking a hole to a drywall is no grounds for counceling. That’s like saying ”stomping on juice boxes is grounds for counceling”. People get mad. Be Glad Weeaboo Hunter is even willing to fix shit like drywall. Stuff should never be used in my opinion.

    But what is the ratio of water to powder for making the mud?

    • @jerrymoore838
      @jerrymoore838 2 года назад

      You don't want it soupy. Thick enough that it stays on your knife but is close to falling off. And add the powder to your water, mixing till smooth and adding more powder (and mixing) until you have your consistency. Better a tad too thick than a tad too runny. You can add small increments of water if too thick to work with
