The spackle will make the area completely smooth. Repeat 2-3 times, until the mesh no longer shows through. Spread a thin layer of spackle then let it dry. So, stick the mesh on and start spreading spackle across it with a putty knife. Just long enough to get the sticky spackle started. The mesh is adhesive, but it doesn’t stick well. Your measurements don’t need to be exact, you just need enough mesh to hold on to the existing wall. I simply taped up the whole piece of mesh up to my hole and drew an inch around the entire hole right on the mesh, then cut it out.
#Plaster to cover wall holes Patch
I used this mesh patch because I already have spackle and a putty knife, but this wall patch kit comes with everything you need.Ĭut the mesh at least an inch larger than the hole. The easiest way is to buy a wall patch kit. To patch a larger hole, you will need something to hold the spackle in place while it dries. Use a Patch Kit to Repair a Hole 1 inch to 4 inch wide hole – Option 1 Whether you’re renting or own your place, spackle is the best, the easiest, and the correct way to fix any nail holes, dings, or other small holes in your walls. Spackle is very inexpensive, just a few dollars, and it stays useable for a long time if you store it correctly. Please do not use toothpaste or other “life-hack” ideas. If the wall is white, you can skip the paint, but the dried spackle might chip off. Let the spackle dry, sand if needed, then paint over it to make the spot more sturdy and to blend in with the wall. Then use the putty knife or your finger or a straight edge to wipe off any spackle not in the hole you’re repairing. Just scoop out a little bit of spackle and wipe it on the hole. You might also want a putty knife, it make applying the spackle easier and more even, but you can just use your finger.
The only thing you need is a small container of spackle (also calling spackling).
