How to Quickly Patch a Hole in Drywall - Mesh Tape Trick
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 авг 2024
- Typically, you use adhesive based mesh tape to strengthen joints during drywall installation. It is also very useful when trying to repair drywall line cracks. You can also use it to repair drywall holes, by putting it on top of the hole. SUBSCRIBE!!! www.howtoanalyzedata.net/youtube
In this tutorial we will explore another option on how it can be used to provide extra strength and support inside the hole. This might be useful if you are trying to strengthen drywall anchor and need small area inside drywall to provide additional extra strength.
I used this mesh tape technique on multiple projects. I used it to strengthen drywall anchor, which was supporting heavy mirror and became loose. I have also used it to fill 1 inch drywall hole after removal of wall humidifier control.
Some advantages this method provides:
1) Your working are is smaller. When you use mesh tape on top of the drywall you end up with large working are, you then need to cover with texture and paint. If you can find original texture and original paint this is no issue, but if you can’t, like in my case, smaller area means smaller noticeable imperfections after the repair
2) You provide additional reinforcement inside the wall. By putting mesh tape inside the wall and mixing it with spackle, you provide additional strength inside the wall. This is especially useful if you are trying to repair loose wall anchors: you can’t move them to a different spot and need to specifically repair them in one particular spot.

Some helpful tips:
You can clean up leftovers of drywall patch spackle with wet paper towel. Once spackle dries out you can only use sanding to create finish look. But you can use up paper towel 15-20 min after you applied patch, while spackle it is still wet, and this way you can avoid mess, created by sanding.
When you do first patch the hole may not blend perfectly with the wall. Leave it to dry overnight to let your draft patch harden. You can make another coat of patch next day, to create smooth surface and make it blend with drywall better.
Good Luck on your Project!!!

Thank you so much! After years and years of my brother living in our family home and punching holes in walls there is literally at least ONE hole PER piece of sheet rock. Awesome tutorial! Thank you!
Glad I could help! Thank you for sharing your story! We all have something like this going on in our familiies :) I'm glad I could help! Good luck! Hope you won't have any holes anylonger !
I had to patch a 2" hole left on removal of an old light fixture - stuffing it with FibaTape before applying the patch was genius, the fix took just a couple of minutes. Thanks for the tip!
Thanks for sharing
Can you use the same area to drill a hole?

best video of all time
Thank you for the kind words!
0:28 is clever, use curled up tape as filler while also being a reinforcement.
Thank you, Christoph Waltz.
You're very welcome Bob ! Glad to help! Merry Christmas!
Well done with the tutorial bro.. Qs.Can air still flow through these type of mesh tapes or is it fully blocked by a transparent adhesive layer?
Helpful for me, didn't know what to use to reinforce holes this size. I would use a hot 20 minute mud here, 4" knife, and then finish with a 12-14" knife. and a hawk. I have a commercial repair job coming up, that has lots of holes this size from equipment that was relocated. Good stuff.
Thanks Steve, Glad you have found the info helpful!!!
That's brilliant. Thanks for the advice. I'm going to give it a try now :-)
Best of luck!
Joint compound would be a better choice when holes are larger than a #8 screw, if you want integrity to your repair.
Could you use quick set powder instead of the spackle?
Is it fine to use other materials on hand like scrap fabric or newspaper for pre-filling the hole, or is it very important to buy the mesh?
PS what a soothing voice, you'd make a great audio book narrator.
Good tip , using a wet paper towel to smooth out the spackle
Why wouldn't you put the tape on the top like normal after your little inside trick? Also for anyone that wants to patch a big hole, just cut it square and buy a small piece of drywall bigger than the hole and some cheap wood that you can cut bigger than the hole and place behind the wall for support of new drywall piece. Screw it in top and bottom about 3 inches away from hole, tape all the edges where drywall meet and put your mud on top. Let dry sand and and repeat mud application if you sanded too much.
That moose and squirrel!!!
Thank you very much for leaving your comment! Greatly appreciated - love hearing your opinion!
Mother Russia saved my ass with this video! Thanks 😊
It's a very unique comment :) glad it helped!
this is very helpful and I love your accent 💕
Glad you find the video helpful, Kelsey CoCa! Please make sure to watch more of my videos on this and other topics: ruclips.net/user/OnlineTrainingforEveryone
I'm just going to use tape
Mesh tape works better when needing to fill in holes, chips or big gouges on sheetrock. The Joint compound goes through the mesh tape to easily attach to sheetrock while pushing out air to prevent bubbling or bulging. It's one less step ...
you gotta love their cute little holes in these ad's then there is reality mine can house a fkn Bowling ball
:)
Great video! But why does this guy sound like the fart cloud from Rick and Morty? 🤣
I'm not sure why :) Thanks for watching! Stay healthy!

😂😂
Wait but it still looks like crap?
! Greatly appreciate you taking time and leaving a comment! It's a process :) I did make it look good - just being patient and sanding down the imperfections do the trick. Good luck in your journey!

Useless comment.
@@OnlineTrainingforEveryone You did great. That guy is just a jerk.
My 2 old can make a better looking patch...
wow - glad to know that! You're really lucky!
@@OnlineTrainingforEveryone i
@@OnlineTrainingforEveryone excellent reply, hahaha.
Or. Just do it the right way and put a new piece of drywall there with a support back. Why cut corners? It’s your house!
Great advise! Sometimes though it feels right to cut corners even in my own house :)
this is a LIE. My opinion
