if you guys ever use any type of knife with a straight edge guide to cut along. Understand that that blade will easily jump up onto that straight edge and head straight for the hand that is holding the straight edge down. Make sure the hand that is applying pressure to the straight edge is above the direction the blade is heading so you do not have a chance of slicing your fingers open. This type of accident happens within a second and with the amount of force you are putting into the blade, you will hurt yourself badly.

@jefftruck3 жыл бұрын
Mr Build It - Please help. First of all, your videos gave me the confidence to attempt to repair a large hole in my son's wall. I made a nice rectangular cut around the 'fist-sized' (no further comment) opening. The measurements of the rectangle are 6.5" x 6.75". The measuring of the new piece, along with the scoring and snapping off of the replacement piece were spot on. I was so pleased to see your cutting method work. I had no adjacent studs to use as anchors so I cut out some corner blocks of the drywall to use as anchors behind the existing wall, allowing for at least one inch on either side of the rectangular perimeter opening I had created. Then it went downhill from there. The hardware store I went to which shall remain nameless sold me 6 X 1-1/4 fine threaded drywall screws. They do go in with relative ease - but they seem to have absolutely no holding power whatsoever. Either the drywall was to brittle - it seemed to break apart on the backside of the anchor piece - or something else. The anchor piece seemed very loose. Furthermore, when I went to back out the screw, I noticed that unless I pressed on the screw point from inside the wall opening, the screw did not want to back out on its own. This makes me think that they sold me the wrong screws. What is your opinion? What size of screw do you fine works best?
@jefftruck3 жыл бұрын
I think I also just now realized that I should not have used drywall for the anchors but actually wood or MDF as you used. The drywall just can't handle the pulling forces - but I'm still eager to find out what type of drywall screw you used.

It's easier to make the hole fit the patch. You get a tighter fit too. You can also use the paper on the patch as the tape by cutting the patch bigger than you need and peeling the excess gypsum off. Though that really only works for walls the same thickness as the patch. Using a dimpler/screw setter bit is a cheap and easy way to make sure your screws go the proper depth and not beyond. Using a squeegee can help you blend the texture.
