Hi Mr. Purcell, After repairing, it looks awesome....! Thanks

Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I noticed the ignorant comments made in your other video on patching holes and I couldn’t believe the comments. I appreciate your work and the information you selflessly shared with the community! I’ll be patching up a HUGE hole in my rental home this weekend thanks to you!

In the UK i believe it is common practice to put scrim over the screw holes, to stop popping! It is common to see ‘popping’ in modern houses as they are thrown-up as quickly as possible, with scant regard to quality! Thanks for sharing and ignore the haters. The 95% appreciate your efforts and as for the 5%, well....

looks good, a repair I've had to do a thousand times. I've used that Selleys spakling before, I still prefer to use the old fashion bedding compound, and then a multi purpose ready mix plaster as a finishing coat. It does take longer because of the drying time. If you are under time constraints, and quite often we are when we deal with tenants and landlords, who seem to think that this job should only take 5 minutes, then Selleys is ideal. Cheers

Thanks for this video, i just put a hole in my wall. Hopefully my dad wont be as mad if i know how to fix it

It was funny with your other video where you didn’t have all the tools with you, and how many people who were looking to find out how to fix a hole in the wall because they didn’t know, became instant qualified plasterers who knew more than you did.

Yes that's a perfectly fine way of doing it. I prefer to use base coat for the filler. I find that the pre-mixed stuff is a bit 'fluffy' and doesn't always stick as well.

Oh man! I didn't know if I could do it this clean. This is fantastic and neat. Thanks mate!

Thank you for bringing me here Garry! I think I'm ready to do this now lol

My sisters and I inherited our parents house and it’s been a nightmare only me and one sister have emptied the house we are still donating and tossing items furniture etc I’m the one repairing the walls your videos will help me immensely - after all the repairs and cleanup next up I’ll paint the inside and I have arthritis. What I wouldn’t give for knowledge like yours thank goodness we have KZfaq I’m filming today’s cleanup for my KZfaq and once I edit all my videos I’ll post what I have done from the beginning to the end. 👏🏽

Good looking out Gary I am glad you recommend I watch this video since it’s my first time repairing a wall. Thank you. 🙏🏾👏🏽

Thanks very much, it's amazing how many armchair plasterers there are out there, ignore them. .

Thanks man! I am moving into a new room with a big while in the wall. This tutorial will come in handy. I’ll update you when I do it.

Fantastic! What hole? It's completely gone! LOVE it! Thank you for sharing kind Sir xoxo!

Thank you. Greatly appreciate your teaching. Removed a medicine cabinet that left a large hole in the wall. Now I can patch it up proper 😃

I like the other method better. Thank you for making this video.

Mr Purcell, my hole is 24 by 24. I have plumbing pipes in that hole. Is it advisable to go for access panel or dry wall. Should I use same method for drywall. Pl advise. Enjoyed it his video. Good diy

this is so helpful, that was exactly how I got the hole in my wall

Start a job tomorrow this really helped thank you

Thank you Gary for link... job made super easy... coffee time now.

Thank you so much for your help, everything looks perfect, great tips! ❤

After you have the hole patched and you say you are going to go over it one more time with a skimming coat, is that the exact same mud you use in the beginning? Just wondering if your final coat is the same kind of mud or a different product. I want to thank you for all the time and effort you put into the videos. I have to patch 2 large holes next week and your videos are gonna get me through the job.

I got a neat optical illusion effect at 5:55, I suspect due to the light glinting off the left-middle screw head. Made it look like the camera angle had shifted and the screw heads were all popping out a bit from the wall instead of being countersunk.

Thank you, I have lots of holes in my wall that need fixing😭

Great job man. Have you tired the wet sponge method to smooth down the surface?

youre a legend gary thank you

Great stuff Garry, thanks.

Garry, why this time you didn't use the mesh tape before applying the mud?

Another very useful video, that’s for the recommendation Garry :) I’ve just subscribed.

Thanks Garry, If you’re repairing a spot that you want to cut out later for a power point is there another method that doesn’t use the timber’s so the new hole can be cut out after the repair?

Thankyou for video !

Is this different from the other video you did on this ?

Hi and thanks for this tutorial. If you were to use the mesh, when would you apply it? ie after you have filled the gaps then tape then skim coat or apply tape first over the gaps then apply filler?

What grit sandpaper should be used?

Superb will be doing it this way tomorrow thanks👍

I watched one of the gentleman’s other videos on the same subject and made a comment on how difficult his process is and needless so. So he sent me an email to watch this one. Presumably being a better method. Having watched this video it seems still extremely difficult as compared to professional methods. Poor fell works so har to force mud into the cracks. Totally not necessary. Simple lay a mud base down then apply the tape to it. I can repair an entire hole in the time it takes him to measure the board and cut it.

Solid work =)

Great, thank you 😀

Very good video👍 Whats the tool you have 8.38

Looks good! Does the lip have to be wood or can I cut out 2 pieces from drywall?

Thanks 👍

Awesome 👏

Great

All that drilling of the plaster. I just drill a hole through the middle of a small piece of timber, thread a piece of twine through the middle of it. Then wipe some liquid nails or other fast-set strong adhesive on the back of the plasterboard hole, pop the timber through (holding onto the twine), and pull it up against the back of the hole and in contact with the adhesive. Hold it there until the timber sets in place. Cut the piece of twine off. Then pop some adhesive on the back of your drop-in plasterboard piece, stick it to the timber, use some plaster compound to set it in and smooth it off. No drilling required (well, still need to put a hole in the timber). :)

What grit of sand paper is that? It look like no hole was there!

What if the hole is close to the light pentel thing

Some of that plaster is thick, it'll shrink as it cures over the next month leaving an indent. A heat gun may prevent that shrinking.

Hi Gary thanks for your videos I have two holes the plaster left next to my toilet any suggestions for helping with that would be great. How do you check for electricals? I assume there wouldn't be any near a toilet

Hey bud where you from because down here in South Central Texas we don't do it like that we actually have the real tools

don't need screws, or wood, just cut a piece of drywall twice the size of the hole, flip the drywall "Score" a square the size of the hole out of the drywall, break the drywall and peel while leaving the paper on the Drywall. this gives you the paper you need, now you just put drywall mud on the wall and the back of the square on the paper and around the edges. bam super simple.

Lol

This is the second video of you making a bigger hole to patch the smaller hole, mate. It’s unnecessary, just work with the size you have using similar, or craftier techniques, mate.

He thinks he can help. What he didn't know is his video title makes people wasting time. Easy??? No! Fast??? No! The title should read:" For home owners, how to DIY fixing hole on wall" . Big Thanks
