Hi there! I just found your channel yesterday when searching for how to handle stripped screws. I’ve now watched quite a few of your videos and they are all great! Your content is so easy to understand and follow, super informative, and all kept to a reasonable length. I’d also like to let you know that I appreciate that you aren’t following the same formula as everyone else with the “hey, guys”… “and, be sure to click that ‘like’, ‘follow’”, blah blah blah 😁 … I appreciate that you just get in there and start on the content directly without all that nonsense! But, you’re clever in giving us a “next video” to watch. Love, love, love your channel and can’t wait to watch and learn even more from you!

@DaruDhillon Год назад

Wow, great insights I’m glad you’ve noticed. I don’t want to waste time and I love hearing feedback because that directly impacts what we do. If you ever have a suggestion on content or a video you’d like to see I’m here. Thanks so much for the appreciation! Because of your support and viewers like you I’m able to shoot more videos and work with an amazing editor, Sarah 💕

@ral819 11 месяцев назад

I keep some of the 20 minute dry time mud (dry mix) around for fixes like this. If you use warm water it accelerates the dry time a bit. You have to get used to working quicker with it , and working with smaller batches when you mix it. Nice video ...

@morokeiboethia6749 Год назад

I'm a huge fan of the squeeze tube spackle that comes in like a large toothpaste shaped container with tip on it. You can just squeeze however much you need and you dont have all that waste compared to using buckets of spackle. Its also less messy. If you have 300 finish nail holes to fill with spackle, it's definitely faster to use a squeeze tube.

@DaruDhillon Год назад

Great advice! I’ll try that out for sure. Thanks! 👍🏽

@davidwilliamson3809 10 месяцев назад

Is there a reason why just regular paint primer wouldn't work for the tear? I'm not sure I want to buy a gallon of that stuff you (and many) use for such a small project.

@demontekdigital1704 10 месяцев назад

I can actually hear someone in the background, "Dammit, honey stop putting holes in our walls!" I caught the joke about shrinkage in the pool, and all I can say is that's a complete, and total myth! You can't prove that, LOL. All jokes aside though, thank you for your insight with this stuff because it's incredibly helpful. I just wish I knew about it BEFORE I gouged a huge hole in the wall from ripping out one of those drywall anchor screws. Thankfully though, the entire room it's in is going to be my testing room for an almost complete drywall teardown/replacement. I want to do the ceiling, and 3 of the walls because the 4th wall will be part of a much bigger reno later down the road. All I have to do is talk my wife into buying a drywall hoist, and a few odds, ends, and materials, and I'll be good to go. Hopefully I don't break the house in the process. Especially since my old nickname used to be "broke it trying to fix it." 🤣

@progression_decibel Год назад

Superb and concise video about hole repair on RU-vid! Aside from the Guardz primer on torn paper, what primer did you utilize for priming the spackled/compounded areas before painting? Something like Zinsser 1-2-3?

@DaruDhillon Год назад

Great to hear! I've used Zinsser 1-2-3 before and it works well. Because I get my paint for BM and SW I usually use their primers because the coverage is really good. I tend to invest in primers because it guarantees a good patch and paint job. Step One from BM and multi-purpose from SW. Thanks for the question. I hope your patching goes well! Perfect job to DIY 👍

@progression_decibel Год назад

@@DaruDhillon thanks for the swift reply back! I also use BM paints - do you have experience with their Fresh Start primer? I have a room painted in almost this cocoa brown color that I need to fix the walls and repaint to a light greige color and was wondering if I should prime the entire room with that product.

@DaruDhillon Год назад

@@progression_decibel my pleasure! I haven't used that one but I've heard good things. Sometimes a quick prime can save you time for covering dark colors with light. Good luck with your project I hope it goes well.

@tomtalley2192 11 месяцев назад

I always use the handle of a large screwdriver as a kind of nail set like you did. Also I would never use pre mixed mud, as it’s an air dry and could take overnight to dry. Easy sand, or Durabond is a chemical dry, and you can quick dry with a heat gun. But love your videos, you do an excellent job.

@DaruDhillon 11 месяцев назад

Good tips and good advice. I don’t recommend hot mud for beginners because it’s challenging and frustrating unless you are experienced. 👍🏽

@eyesuckle 7 месяцев назад

Completely agree about the pre-mixed spackle. It takes hours and hours to dry. And to me, it often has a somewhat rubbery feel to it. Just not as good a texture as the stuff you mix up yourself, which dries much faster.

@leesasweetheart 10 месяцев назад

What brand is the latex primer ?

Have a 1 1/2 inch hole in drywall. do you use the FibaFuse or just the mud or spackle. The hole is between the living room and garage. I can actually see my boyfriend in the garage from the living room looking in the hole lol. so have to patch both sides due to previous owners put a cable cord for tv from living room to garage. I’m new to your channel and love what you do and help other women like me.

@DaruDhillon Месяц назад

For an inch and a half hole I’d use tape with mud. You won’t need much it will be small and simple. You got this! Thanks, Stephanie.

@bobbieerb3395 5 месяцев назад

Great video!…question, I have 2 big spots of pealing paint, how do I fix this? Do I have to take all the paint off the whole wall?

@DaruDhillon 5 месяцев назад

I would take a drywall knife and scrape away the peeling paint. Give it a light sand. If the paper is exposed prime it first with proper primer. If not, skim it with a light coat of drywall mud. Let it dry then sand and repeat until smooth. Prime, paint and the patch will disappear. You got this!

@shalorysherman7754 7 месяцев назад

What do you advise for raised spots on your wall? I tried sanding but it doesn't seem to work.

@DaruDhillon 7 месяцев назад

For really tough spots I’ve used a palm sander or belt sander in emergency situations.

@JacopoSkydweller 7 месяцев назад

So. What do I do when I need to put a new drywall anchor in the hole I just patched? Will spackle handle that OK, or do I need to use real mud? I have a 13mm X 18mm ish hole in the wall at the moment I need to patch. Obviously after letting everything cure properly.

@DaruDhillon 7 месяцев назад

I wouldn’t anchor anything heavy in the same hole I patched but something light would be fine. To bridge a wider opening, you can check out this video for my all time favorite anchor.

@elizabethetienne1595 9 месяцев назад

HELP!! I made a big mistake and filled all the holes with pink putty WITHOUT pushing back in the raised part with the back of the putty knife. And now I have a bunch of raised holes! UG! What a nightmare. Also I may have covered over some paper that was exposed from yanking out the screws on the wall. what do I do now?? Any suggestions? Can I sand it down before I prime it? W

@DaruDhillon 9 месяцев назад

It’s ok. You’ll be fine. Sand down flat anything that is raised and prime it. If it’s a tiny tear you may not have an issue. 👍🏽

If any of the brown paper is exposed do I need a dedicated primer? Or can I paint it with paint that says it's primer + paint?

@DaruDhillon 8 месяцев назад

If the brown paper is exposed you need a special primer to seal it. If you use regular primer it will bubble once painted and need to be repaired.

@GuardianMatrix2005 9 месяцев назад

Not sure what kind of texture you're looking for, but there's stuff you can buy in a can literally called "Wall Texture" from Homax where you spray it on the wall and, depending on the type of Wall Texture you bought (there are at least two for different looks) it could be the texture you're looking for. The ones I know about are Orange Peel and Knockdown. Be sure to read the instruction before using.

@michaelgeorge8391 7 месяцев назад

Mix some Plaster of Paris with your mud and it will dry much faster than the spackling.

If you wanted to set your channel apart from the rest, show how to do complete wall repairs for finished walls (which is what 90+% of us are working with). What is always missing is the pre-paint texturing that you almost always find on finished walls. No matter how good your drywall repair and how good your paint matches it will never look right if there is not the same texture on the wall. Most of the time equipment can be rented to do the job, but it does increase the cost. With everything a 1 x 1 foot hole repair was about $150 (which is less than half what a landlord might charge to do the same repair). I have yet to find a channel that mentions this critical element. Otherwise, very helpful video, thanks.

@JohnSmithh644 6 месяцев назад

You said drywall compound was better because it is sandals. Then you sanded the spackle

@DaruDhillon 6 месяцев назад

Drywall compound sands out to a smoother finish and you can skim it so the results are better if you have ultra-smooth walls. For many people spackle will do the job. Yes, both can be sanded.
