How do you patch a wall?

What are the steps and what materials do I need?

Answer #1

Hi,

You will need:

a good six or four inch putty knife patching compound (standard wallboard joint compound for walls) A mudd tray or a clean flat board with a straight edge

Patch dings, gouges and dents by scooping a small amount of compound onto the putty knife. Place the knife on the wall at about 45 degrees and about 4 or 5 inches from the damaged area. Pull the knife across the damaged area with a steady pressure. Scrape the excess compound off the knife by pulling it across the edge of a board or mudd tray. Make two more passes across the area, removing the excess from the knife after each pass. Let the patch dry.

Answer #2

depends what the wall is made out of. A simple way is to hang a picture over it.

Answer #3

get mud and whipe it on the wall that you need to be fixed. easy one step fixing!
