Home Drywall Repair
We’re installing a sheet rock patch in a wall with a stud behind it. Now if there was not a stud here, you would have to get some clips or use a small, thin board on each end. You just want to the patch up to it, that’s already been pre-cut and everything. Get it to sit in there right. Screw it in nice and tight. And then we would take a- once it’s all installed- take some, either the net kind, sheet rock tape, or they also make a paper kind. I prefer this because you can just stick it on- it’s self-adhesive. And you take some sheet rock mud, and you’re going to do this in several coats, because you don’t want it too thick. So, just going to scrape it on like that. And this first coat does not have to be real smooth. Just get it real thin, and you’re going to let this dry- this is probably going to take three to four hours to dry , and once it’s dry, you’ll be able to tell- it’ll just be all white. And after that you sand it, put one more coat on it and sand it that. And then you’re ready to prime it.
