How To Fix A Small Drywall Hole?

Small holes and dents are an easy fix on your walls. Better leave the larger holes to a professional to have the best finish.

Step 1
Clean off loose edges. Put pre mixed joint compound on a 2″ putty knife Pull the knife across the dented area with a slow smooth stroke. Position the knife at a 90-degree angle and pull across again to remove excess compound. If the patch shrinks as it dries, apply a second coat.
Step 2
To blend in the repair with its surroundings, sand it very lightly – or smooth it out by wiping with a dampened sponge.
Step 3
Joint compounds, being relatively porous, must be primed before you paint them. Paint patch with color matched paint.
