QUESTION: What size are the screws used here?

Thanks for taking the time to show this to someone who has no clue. I've been doing drywall for 40 years. This trick has been around longer than that. There's a few more tricks even quicker than this one but it's nice to see someone take the time to share.

I always cut the piece bigger that I’m using, then peel the drywall off the paper. Leaving about 2" of paper from the edge of the drywall. The Paper then overlaps the seams making it for a better finish. In the field we call this a "hot patch" or a " California patch". And a good finisher always helps. They can hide a lot of things.

This is a great way to patch. Two things to add: mesh tape MUST be coated with Hot Mud ( quick setting) at least for the first coat. It looks like he did that because it comes in powder form. Second, if only hot mud is used to make the patch smooth, do your painter a favor and skim with all purpose joint compound, called Mud in the trade. Easier to sponge edges before texture and hot mud will “flash” when painted. The paint sheen won’t match. Oh, and be sure to always Prime new rock and/ or mud prior to painting. 23 years taping experience talking, 3 of which were in Iowa where all walls are smooth. Oh, Bonus tip: Using plywood instead of regular lumber as a backer will prevent the wood splitting due to too many screws in a row. I’ve had way too many 1x2’s split in half.

That is a good idea. Never seen that done before. Another method is to cut the fill in square about an inch bigger all the way around. Then on the back side, cut the back paper and gypsum back the inch oversize all the way around so the remaining gypsum will fill the hole. Peel the surrounding inch of back paper & gypsum off. This leaves the front paper extending out 1 inch all the way around the hole filling part. You will then use the excess 1" of top paper all the way around as paper drywall seam tape. Put mud around the hole cut out on the wall. Place the filler square back into the hole & use a mud knife to squeeze the mud out from under the top surrounding paper, working from the middle area outward, sealing it to the rest of the wall. Then mud over the whole thing like normal. The mud under the 1" front paper overlay acts like glue preventing the hole from being pushed in, and you don't need any extra tape or other materials to complete the patch. Side note. If the original hole was made from a door knob hitting it, just get a stick-on soft door knob wall protector & put over the hole. They're like half a ball with stiff plastic on the back. The protectors spread the weight of the impact and prevent further damage. If you just patch it, it'll just keep tearing up the drywall. I've seen those protectors last over a decade just fine from continued door knob hits with no problems.

This changes my life. I fixed a hole in my wall that was significantly bigger than the one in the video following this method.

Something i have started doing recently is oversizing the patch and using a multitool to cut through the patch drywall and the wall, perfect fit every time! I don't think the tape is needed for such a small fill but each to their own with that one.

The vegetable peeler to smooth the sheet rock edges was a nice trick. Hadn't seen that one before.

And I thought I was the only one using a hacksaw blade for this. I like to use a bone saw blade. It cuts smoother than the big tooth tools and cuts faster than normal hacksaw blades. Good job.

Pro Tip: I like that you tapered the edges on the wall and the patch. I have never done that, GREAT tip! !! !!!

Lost art because it took a lot of time and skill.

Good Lord, Im a longtime painting contractor and there’s been a much quicker and better way to patch holes in drywall available for years and cost about $6. Allpro makes an 8” flat aluminum screen that is peel and stick. Use 20 minute mud and apply a thin coat. When dry lightly sand and apply a 2nd thin coat of mud and when dry, lightly sand and you’re ready to prime/paint. The aluminum screen is as hard as a regular drywall patch. Just make sure on the thin coats of mud that you spread it out on the wall a few inches past the screen patch in all directions. Actual work time is about 45 seconds which includes vacuuming up the dust. You’re welcome!

I have over 30 years of drywall experience. Small patches like this can use what is called a hot patch. A piece of sheetrock is cut bigger than the hole and then marked the size of the hole from the back. Score the marks into a square then pull off the pieces of drywall off the back side, leaving the bigger piece as the plug for the hole. The excess paper on the front acts as tape and mud is applied to the area and the excess paper is wiped tight from the corners outward. Cover patch with a coat of mud and one more the next day. Sand, paint and done. The mesh tape is a joke. More than 30 years experience says paper tape is best.

One downside is that is smells very strong, like permanent markers. A respirator is handy for prolonged exposure. A carpenter friend showed me the magic of Bondo, it has gotten me through many challenging patches and repair problems.

They have simpler kits where you place a mesh square over any irregular hole. Then putty, sand and paint. Easier then this way, especially if you don't have pieces of dry wall hanging around.

What kind of nail do you use?

This will now forever be my chosen method of repair! Thank you!

I use a different technique where I use glue like Liquid Nails rather than screws. You just pull the piece of wood tight using some fishing line (if the hole is too small to get your hand in there) and hold it in place for 2-3 minutes.

I use the paper off the Sheetrock, torn around the edge to feather it. When you cut the patch, score it on the back and peel off the edges.

My dad taught me this when I was 13. As electricians, people appreciate repairing a hole you make to run a wire.

Figured that out 25 years ago, and I put wood on the edges not the middle, stronger seams.

I think the title was purposely worded that way for more potential attention

Same thought here. It was well done, but I would have done it the same way, because that’s how you do it. And it probably took longer than 5 minutes, simply because the filler doesn’t dry that fast!

That is going to crack because he didn't tape the edges. I drywalled for 9 years and I'd recommend scoring the lines with a utility knife then use a sharp keyhole saw to cut diagonally from each corner in to the hole then you just snap and back cut the paper. If you cut your patch square 4 inches larger on the length and width, and then score the back side of the piece 2 inches around the whole piece. Then snap on your score lines one side at a time then pull the gypsum away from the front paper it will leave 2 inches on each side to act as the joint tape. Then put your mud around the edges like he did screw your piece on, and use green lid/ heavy mud on it it sucks to sand but it's more resistant to cracking. He at least did the right thing and screwed that piece of wood there to attach it.

Instead of dry sanding, use a wet sponge. No dust mess, take the edges off faster, and works between texture so it does the transition lines better.

Just a trick, if you use the entire length (or as much as you can of it) of the saw if applicable you need way less force, since you have to overcome the natural friction and inertia less often on drawing the blade back and forth.

Cut square hole, oversize square drywall patch. Cut paper backing to fit hole which will give you front paper overhang. Mud edges, place in opening and squeeze edges which will mud overhang edges and you are done. Use hot mud and it's really quick.

Вот ничего себе, это же мастер на все руки! А я раньше сразу менял место жительство. А можно то было и так сделать.

Да каждый начинающий делает это,а тут такая сенсация.ничего не скажешь,"гениально"

You don't need to use the mesh tape because there's no cracks it's going to happen because it's not in a foundational situation. The reason people use the tape is to keep the Sims together on long pieces that connect the top to bottom side-to-side not little repairs. That project actually could have taken five minutes even to dry time

I've got a tip. When I installed drywall in my house, I sanded down the mud using a wet sponge with a scrubby side and a bucket of warm water instead of a sander. That way you won't have any dust.

All prepping and drying took whole weekend but its repaired in 5 minutes. btw leave the hole as it is, take a stick wood and glue to stick it on the back side trough the hole and blow it full with PUR foam. is done in 2 minutes. only cut the bulge flat on the suface when dry

That shouldn't have "surprised" anyone. It's how patches have been done for years. Want a useful tip? Trim back and remove the top layer of paper out to the width of where the mesh tape will cover on the existing wall so the tape sits slightly indented. This will avoid a build up or "hump" in the finished compound.

I wouldn't even bother taping this

@@hlg_theshepherd2873 really taping is only for known crack areas and / or if a joint or gap is bigger than 1/8th of an inch. otherwise the mud wouldnt have much structure.

I thought of this on my own about 40 years ago, but I'm sure many people knew about it before that. But I can believe that there are places in the world where a "50 year old mason" might not know about it. Drywall caught on in the USA faster than in most places (USG patented wrapped and tapered edges in 1912 and tape & mud in the 1920s, though other forms of plasterboarding had been used here and in Europe for about 50 years by that time). There are still places where drywall is considered novel, so all the tricks that make so easy to use might not be well known in those places. Even here, people don't really appreciate how ingenious the invention of a material with strength that approaches that of wood or plaster, but which can be cut with a knife, really was.

In Europe this trick wouldnt work since the walls are from brick and stone 🤷‍♂️

Any points for the vegetable peeler?

This is the way i've always repaired small holes like that. Now I really wonder how the 50y.o. mason used to do it, must be some cool technique. I'm over 50 by the way.

Ale sztuka.!!! 15 lat temu tez sie tak robiło.

Yep that’s how I always fixed them. Can even use the wood from the paint stirrers which are light but still do the trick
