How to Prepare Sheetrock for Leak Repair

Hi, this is Shannon Kniep on behalf of Expert Village. I'm now taking the rasp that I introduced earlier and smoothing out the edges around the opening so that this other piece can fit in. Now I may want to fit it in, it may not fit exactly right and then of course I'll just scrape it more. Any humps or any places where the edge sticks out a little bit, I just kind of shave it off like this to get it to be smooth so it will help the piece fit better. Ok, I'm setting the screws ahead of time so when I get the piece on and in place and put it up into place, I can just reach up there and screw the screws in without having to hold it with a separate with my other hand. So it greatly facilitates getting it held into place.
