Ray Hayden repairs a couple of scratches in a wall. One is normal, another is a pet scratch mark, and one of them is a very deep scratch made by the office cats.
This is the repair.
dude thanks so much. my dog is a vicious freak and decided to rip a bunch of gashes in the rental we live in. your instructions were on point and as a 16 year old it was easy to understand keep it up man
Glad to help! Thanks for watching!
@@rayhayden lpp
Thanks for the tutorial. I will adhere to your advice. Thanks for sharing, Ray
Thank you for the repairing. I really should fix my drywall
Awesome we patch walls almost the same way lol, for holes I use the quick patch they now sell with the metal backing. Patches holes up to 8 inches and comes out perfect. Awesome channel and got you back. Thank you for getting us
It is very nice to see so many great videos that I might have never otherwise seen!
This is great info! My cat has done deep scratches beside my door frame of my bedroom and on frame.
Great and useful skill for repairing!! I learnt a lesson!
Bless you sir
Thanks for watching, I greatly appreciate it!
nice repair work! Super fast speed!
Watching and supporting you, Ray!!! :-)
Thank you!
Thanks for watching!
Great repair work on the wall Ray! Watching, supporting & liking!! 👍
Yeah, the cats did a great job creating that job for me on the wall! LOL!
They like to keep you busy LOL!
Nice work, very helpful video.
Good information, thanks for posting this video.
Thanks for adding me.
I definitely subbed to your RUclips channel just now. Thanks again
Great tutorial! Full support!
Great video, thanks for you easy to follow instructions. Ha, and a sense of humour always goes a long way ;-) Dodgy office cats. I have a dodgy indoor dog that did an almost exact type of artwork upon my walls.
They are so "creative!" LOL!
Great job buddy
Nice help Sir
Your Awesome man! Thank you, we have a cat that is so destructive scratches our walls up, wood door frames, dry wall ugh looks terrible and I want to fix in hopes this behavior will stop. Thanks again!
Thanks for watching - I am very happy that you found this helpful!
Thanks for this, Ray. You've probably guessed; I have a couple of cat scratches to fix.
One of our two cats does damage like yours. We've had cats for nearly 40 years, and this is the first one that's had a thing about walls. On the basis that prevention is better than cure, I've been trying to work out what triggered this behaviour. I thought that it might be flickering, filtered sunlight (sun shining through tree leaves in a breeze) that caught his attention. As soon as he'd made the first mark, that spot was different and he kept going back to it. We moved houses and the spot that he fixated on in the new house doesn't directly face any windows, but it could get angled, flickering, filtered sun in the afternoon if a bedroom door was left open. Except that he's just opened a new exploration spot just round the corner where I can't see any way that he could get light flickers. Oh well. Back to the garage.
That is a good point. I have to think of the time of year, but there was a body of water (golf course lake) behind that property, and I imagine the sunlight on the water could have done something like that.
Thanks!!!
Thanks for watching! I greatly appreciate it!
Nice video edition
Good video for me, my cats left the exact same hole in my wall.
Although they use it as a footing to get through cat window it's starting to get too big!
Kitties (I have a few... )!
👍👍Big Thumbs Up!!👍👍Great information! 👍👍
ahh man i got an easy way to fix this. i just bought some nice new furniture and now the cats scratch that up instead of the walls. problem solved! subbed you back. good vid!
:-)
ang galing naman,nakaka impress.
Great video. Thank you for posting. What is the grit of the sandpaper?
I would normally use some rough sandpaper to loosen / remove any paper damage on the wall, then smooth it out with 80 grit, if I had additional small paper issues, I might use 120 grit to smooth that out. Thanks for asking!
Who needs an orbital sander when you've got SuperRay! haha! Great repair job! :D Thanks for sharing and always caring Ray! :D
You are a jack of all trades my friend.
Yet, a master of none! LOL

Thank you so much for this video! What grit of sand paper did you use?
Thanks for watching! I generally use a heavier grit (lower number) to knock anything off, then I usually use 80 grit. I don't try to make things too smooth, because the painted wall is no longer as smooth as when the drywall went up and was primed and painted - and I hope to get away with touching up.
For that wall, If I am recalling correctly, after these patches, I was able to initially touch up, but then I went on to patch up some other sections when we sold the unit in 2018, and I was able to get away with painting just the wall there, and where the door is - which had a slightly angled, short wall for the door.
And that is another thing about using flat paint, it is easier to touch up when we can, but if we have to do the wall, we can normally get away with doing just the one wall.
Oh man, we had major drywall repairs after our flood last summer...yes, a flood in the desert...old pipes broke in the ceiling while we were in Indiana dealing with RV problems.
Rolling! 🤠and 🤦🏻♀️
I had a neighbor (a snowbird) here, who had pipes freeze up north and break a year or so ago... nasty business. We don't leave our property, but if we do for any length of time, we cut off the water outside - laundry (washer) hoses can go bad, so we added those to our repair and replace schedule! I had to do a bit of drywall repair for friends who had issues with water heaters, or a bad pipe connection.
Yeah, problem with our house is there isn’t a separate line. I guess they do weird things like that here. Now we have someone there frequently to check. I was told that insurance policies can deny claims like ours if no one is checking.
I've found it quicker and easier to overbuild the patch and make it a bit high, then once it dries sand it smooth with a palm sander. I picked up a 1/4 sheet sander at menards for $11. The downside to that is you make alot of dust.
LOL - true. I have a dust catcher on one sander, but I agree - even with that, it is a bit dusty!
You really are a machine
ENjoy full video . LIKE
What grit size sandpaper did you use? Thanks!
This was a while back. Basically, I would use 80 grit to bang off bits of paper and such, maybe a little rougher - but just to knock loose stuff off. After that, I would normally use either 100 or 120 to smooth things up a bit.
The roller we use is normally smooth, which still leaves a bit of a texture - bot much, but some... so I don't want to make the wall around a repair too smooth, or I end up having to prime, coat, and recoat - or one more time to make the slight texture match up. When we sold the office (where this was) and the house (next to each other, and shared a wall), I only needed to repaint that one wall in that room. I went corner to corner on that one wall, just to make it all perfect.
Thanks for watching!
Oh no it stopped on 4 . Let’s try again
and now here
Hope do notice me, how about if not that deep i mean only the outer paint on a cement wall because i'd scratch it only when i'd removed the permanent paint that drips on it anyway what to do after i'd sand it; can i direct paint it with that color without primer on it?
Cement. I'd use a different product, which is pretty much a cement patch material like this. The texture of the wall is going to be part of the things you have to consider. Matching that can be difficult, but if it is a small scratch, it might be simple.
Me? I'd patch it, try to make it look like the rest of the wall - and I'd wait to make sure it is staying in place, then I'd prime it and paint it to match the rest of the wall.
What I never want to have to do, is to repaint the entire wall. The wall in this video did end up being repainted due to a slight color difference (due to the age of the original paint job and the repair), but I only had to repaint that one wall.
Best wishes and thanks for watching.
Ahh another happy homeowner lol , It's nice to have learned so much but let's not tell anyone lol The things I have done for friends ugh .
Hi Ray! I'm leaving a like and I'm also going to run this playlist of yours for as long as I can. I do have a question for you though (hope you might know the answer!). So one of my most popular videos has adds on it now ... and I do not monetize my videos at all .. is it possible for someone else to be monetizing it? 🤔 I thought you might know. Thanks!
Edit: I got my answer about monetization. Still running your playlist here at work! :)
I got back in late today - working outside all day long! I am glad you got your answer... I don't have an understanding of "covers," and recreations with editing... I never had a class on Intellectual Property - but it is one of my big legal interests... along with Contracts, and Administrative Law
I might just end up sending a message to RUclips about it. They've never responded before, but it really it remains a mystery since it's on many of my videos now, not just one. :( IP interests me as well.
so since you had eggshell on the wall did that mean you had to repaint the entire wall of could you have just done the patch
What we had noted, is that any shine (sheen) at all, tends to require painting of that entire wall again. When we painted with Matte (Flat) paint, we do not need to repaint the entire wall if the shade of the paint matches very well.
I say it that way, because formulas of paint, and the "lot" of the paint (the "run" of a formula, or "batch") can vary a little bit... a little bit is not bad, and we can just touch up, but every now and then, we will paint the entire wall.
Of note, since we moved out of South Florida, and up to Central Florida, we took some paint from the wall, and had that "matched" at the local big box home improvement store - Lowes, Home Depot, and almost any quality paint store will have the capability to match paint rather well... we have been simply touching up.
Because we have a lot of cats, and they will do damage to the walls, we have to do more patching and touching up... if we felt the need to do so, we would paint the entire wall... but so far? We have not had the need to do so.
Hi Ray I’m a 1st time renter & I have dry wall can I do this exact same thing if it’s small? It’s not from a scratch or a dent I had put tape & it got stuck to it so the dry wall peeled off.
That is some sticky tape! The paper came off with the paint? Generally, yes... light patching with spackle, light sanding, go over it again with spackle, light sanding, touch up paint... if you are in a location where they have people on staff, like repair folks and the like, you might be able to score some touch up paint from them. Flat paint touches up easier, but the color (even of white paint) can be off a bit between brands. The more "different" the shade of pain is, the more noticeable it will be.
@@rayhayden Yes when I peeled off the tape the dry wall came off but it’s a thin layer so the slightest dent or scratch to the walls it comes off or it either leaves like blackish or silverish mark but if you wipe it with a cloth comes off. Could be that the tape was there for a couple days as well. But they have paint that’s not glossy right? Because the white on this wall has no gloss or shine what’s so ever. Okay then I will ask at my local Lowe’s. Thank you so much for replying I didn’t notice how old this video was I didn’t think you’d reply.
What grit sand paper?
I use 80 Grit for rough areas, peeled paper and such, and I use 120 Grit (smoother) for the easier areas, and once I get things cleaned up... I do not want it to be perfectly smooth, because there is going to be a slight texture from the roller.
Thanks for watching!
What about shields on the paper
I never required anything in addition to how I was able to repair these. In our home now, I do have to tweak some repair work I did on our front porch ceiling. It is going to require using tape and a screw of some sort along with the patching.
Thanks for asking, and thanks for watching!
I accidentally scratched the wall with my bracelet
Flat paint on the wall? Have any extra, or know which brand and "number" it was? Try to do a light patch with spackle paste, and smooth that out (if needed), and touch up with paint... the very worst case is that you end up painting the one entire wall.
14. like harika video.
👍👍👍👍
Still needed texture on it.
That is an excellent point! SOMETIMES, a textured wall is going to need a bit of texture... it can be from a texture, such as "knockdown" or the like... or it could be a texture due to the painting technique. I have been quite fortunate thus far, and the only times I ever needed to fix things up, had been due to painting technique, which I was able to duplicate. Thanks for noting that.
Thank you so much for subscribing i subbed back
I had a family member who would make WWII Aircraft out of cardboard boxes... insane detail! They would paint them with left over paint from jobs (they painted for a living)... hundreds of little, and very large, cardboard model aircraft... it was wild!
I imagine tanks are no less of a simple task!
can u you tell me easy way
I kind of hope the way I described in this video was pretty easy to follow. If you have any specific questions, I have done things up to removing part of a wall and replacing that bit of wall board, and other repairs... ask me, and I will try to answer it for you, or get you looking in the right direction for a good answer for your issue.
Nice video came to help i need some support to
The cat won me over right away - but it was cool to see the blower working from the front side... I have to come back to see the night version of that thing throwing snow!
Need to make another video at night
