Abstract
- The article informs that there's nothing like drywall repair to get the creative juices flowing. The article discusses various techniques for drywall repair. Cut a square piece of drywall to cover the hole, and then on the back of the patch remove a thin strip of drywall along each edge without removing the paper. Done correctly, this forms a paper flange on the patch's perimeter. Apply compound to the paper and press the patch in place. There is no tape, no backing board, no screws, no finding studs; Install a hinge-pin doorstop or a baseboard stop to prevent future doorknob damage. And use an 8-in.-wide drywall knife, as opposed to a 6-in., for a smoother repair.
