I’m glad you were able to school that 50-year old Mason on this basic and very well known method of sheet rock repair. Hopefully, you also showed him another “trick of the trade” where you put paint over it to make it look like the rest of the wall. I love these little secret tips.

Cut the piece of sheetrock first. Use the sheetrock to scribe (trace) your wall cutout. Always fits like a charm. Use a keyhole saw to cutout the sheetrock. Try to feather the edges of your joint compound. A larger blade (12") would be helpful.

I always cut the piece bigger that I’m using, then peel the drywall off the paper. Leaving about 2" of paper from the edge of the drywall. The Paper then overlaps the seams making it for a better finish. In the field we call this a "hot patch" or a " California patch". And a good finisher always helps. They can hide a lot of things.

This is a great way to patch. Two things to add: mesh tape MUST be coated with Hot Mud ( quick setting) at least for the first coat. It looks like he did that because it comes in powder form. Second, if only hot mud is used to make the patch smooth, do your painter a favor and skim with all purpose joint compound, called Mud in the trade. Easier to sponge edges before texture and hot mud will “flash” when painted. The paint sheen won’t match. Oh, and be sure to always Prime new rock and/ or mud prior to painting. 23 years taping experience talking, 3 of which were in Iowa where all walls are smooth. Oh, Bonus tip: Using plywood instead of regular lumber as a backer will prevent the wood splitting due to too many screws in a row. I’ve had way too many 1x2’s split in half.

That is going to crack because he didn't tape the edges. I drywalled for 9 years and I'd recommend scoring the lines with a utility knife then use a sharp keyhole saw to cut diagonally from each corner in to the hole then you just snap and back cut the paper. If you cut your patch square 4 inches larger on the length and width, and then score the back side of the piece 2 inches around the whole piece. Then snap on your score lines one side at a time then pull the gypsum away from the front paper it will leave 2 inches on each side to act as the joint tape. Then put your mud around the edges like he did screw your piece on, and use green lid/ heavy mud on it it sucks to sand but it's more resistant to cracking. He at least did the right thing and screwed that piece of wood there to attach it.

That is a good idea. Never seen that done before. Another method is to cut the fill in square about an inch bigger all the way around. Then on the back side, cut the back paper and gypsum back the inch oversize all the way around so the remaining gypsum will fill the hole. Peel the surrounding inch of back paper & gypsum off. This leaves the front paper extending out 1 inch all the way around the hole filling part. You will then use the excess 1" of top paper all the way around as paper drywall seam tape. Put mud around the hole cut out on the wall. Place the filler square back into the hole & use a mud knife to squeeze the mud out from under the top surrounding paper, working from the middle area outward, sealing it to the rest of the wall. Then mud over the whole thing like normal. The mud under the 1" front paper overlay acts like glue preventing the hole from being pushed in, and you don't need any extra tape or other materials to complete the patch. Side note. If the original hole was made from a door knob hitting it, just get a stick-on soft door knob wall protector & put over the hole. They're like half a ball with stiff plastic on the back. The protectors spread the weight of the impact and prevent further damage. If you just patch it, it'll just keep tearing up the drywall. I've seen those protectors last over a decade just fine from continued door knob hits with no problems.

Good Lord, Im a longtime painting contractor and there’s been a much quicker and better way to patch holes in drywall available for years and cost about $6. Allpro makes an 8” flat aluminum screen that is peel and stick. Use 20 minute mud and apply a thin coat. When dry lightly sand and apply a 2nd thin coat of mud and when dry, lightly sand and you’re ready to prime/paint. The aluminum screen is as hard as a regular drywall patch. Just make sure on the thin coats of mud that you spread it out on the wall a few inches past the screen patch in all directions. Actual work time is about 45 seconds which includes vacuuming up the dust. You’re welcome!

Professionals gave up on mesh tape a long time ago. It cracks if there is any movement. They also don’t show the extra coats of mud needed.

I learned from That Kilted Guy to always use "hot mud" with mesh tape. In this case that is what is required because the sides are not firmly supported; an impact can open cracks. That is my main reason for cutting back to the middle of the studs on each side. Small patches are really hard to stabilize.

Simple fixes like this have been around since the 50's. BTW, this fixe took way more than 5 minutes. Maybe if you were already working on a drywall job and all the tools and supplies are already in hand at the job site. For a novice getting everything together and start to finish the project will take at least a 24 hour period. Hot mud will still take an hour or more to finish the job.

I prefer the car one because it mixes easier and the hardener is red instead of white so you can gauge how quickly the chemical reaction will take place before it becomes hard more easily. One downside is that is smells very strong, like permanent markers. A respirator is handy for prolonged exposure. A carpenter friend showed me the magic of Bondo, it has gotten me through many challenging patches and repair problems.

They have simpler kits where you place a mesh square over any irregular hole. Then putty, sand and paint. Easier then this way, especially if you don't have pieces of dry wall hanging around.

I learned (the hard way) to cut back to the studs. The patch can be upset with an inadvertent bump in the wrong place - near either edge and be harder than originally to fix. Once we commit to cutting back to studs it all becomes a lot easier, especially to mud and texture. Small areas of rework texture almost glow in the dark. I still have a half dozen patches like this one to redo because they didn't blend in after a week or so as it completed drying.

Cut square hole, oversize square drywall patch. Cut paper backing to fit hole which will give you front paper overhang. Mud edges, place in opening and squeeze edges which will mud overhang edges and you are done. Use hot mud and it's really quick.

pick a hole saw that is slightly bigger than the damage and use the hole saw without the pilot to remove the damage. Then you take the same hole saw and cut a plug out of a piece of drywall to put in the wall. you'll still screw in a backing board to anchor it but the fit is perfect every time and there is very little waste.

I have over 30 years of drywall experience. Small patches like this can use what is called a hot patch. A piece of sheetrock is cut bigger than the hole and then marked the size of the hole from the back. Score the marks into a square then pull off the pieces of drywall off the back side, leaving the bigger piece as the plug for the hole. The excess paper on the front acts as tape and mud is applied to the area and the excess paper is wiped tight from the corners outward. Cover patch with a coat of mud and one more the next day. Sand, paint and done. The mesh tape is a joke. More than 30 years experience says paper tape is best.

This shows one of the deficiencies of single layer of plasterboard. This repair job becomes more involved when there is sound insulation quilt and various services within the cavity. Also, on a tape and joint wall having a square edge repair with scrim tape and plaster fill will result in a noticeable bulge when the wall is painted. For all these reasons I prefer to spec double boarding to all stud walls - it gives a solid feel that is not to dissimilar to a masonry wall and makes repairs much simpler. If it is double boarded the top layer is knifed out and the lower layer left in. Either a patch repair of 9.5mm instead of 12.7mm plasterboard is used that allows for filling or the patch is wet filled with plaster, all of which can give a flat unnoticeable repair. Of course double boarding add significant strength so that this type of damage is not usual. Single boarding a stud wall IMO is a cheap solution that only benefits the builder not the customer.

You don't need to use the mesh tape because there's no cracks it's going to happen because it's not in a foundational situation. The reason people use the tape is to keep the Sims together on long pieces that connect the top to bottom side-to-side not little repairs. That project actually could have taken five minutes even to dry time

Measure the damage horizontally and vertically after using a straight anything to mark the lines. Carefully cut out the damage within the lines. Measure exactly on the BACK FACE of your drywall replacement piece leaving a 1” additional area around the actual insert. Cut your patch with the 1” border then score your actual insert with your razor knife, break back the 1” border and gently peel it from the face paper side. Clean up the rough edges of the insert enough to place in the hole. Pencil the now paper border and razor knife the 1” border around just deep enough to be able to remove that surface drywall paper. Now your patch and paper match the surface of wall. Put your compound around the patch and paper,set and seal with your drywall knife. You now have a perfectly flush patch that needs only a skim of compound leaving no ridges or bumps behind.

That shouldn't have "surprised" anyone. It's how patches have been done for years. Want a useful tip? Trim back and remove the top layer of paper out to the width of where the mesh tape will cover on the existing wall so the tape sits slightly indented. This will avoid a build up or "hump" in the finished compound.

I thought of this on my own about 40 years ago, but I'm sure many people knew about it before that. But I can believe that there are places in the world where a "50 year old mason" might not know about it. Drywall caught on in the USA faster than in most places (USG patented wrapped and tapered edges in 1912 and tape & mud in the 1920s, though other forms of plasterboarding had been used here and in Europe for about 50 years by that time). There are still places where drywall is considered novel, so all the tricks that make so easy to use might not be well known in those places. Even here, people don't really appreciate how ingenious the invention of a material with strength that approaches that of wood or plaster, but which can be cut with a knife, really was.
