I came here to learn how to fix a hole in my wall but I got distracted by all the awkward moments in this video and now I gotta go find a different one to figure it out. Thanks LISA!
That’s because he didn’t do a decent job! You can still see the mesh tape pattern once it dried down! Meaning he didn’t layer enough compound to fully cover the mesh pattern. So basically it’s a failed job.
@@karthiksrinivasan4923 I get it, just had to chuckle a bit reading about the woke stuff on a 2009 video about patching up dry wall in 2021. And while it shouldn't be a thing, it apparently still is.
😅 It's interesting that I had to deal with a credit card collections agent on the phone who had a thick Brooklyn accent. Almost like they wanted an intimidating person.
Did you see the way that Lisa was looking at Ed through this whole video? I think his finger in the wall is a preview of what happened a few minutes after the video concluded.
Thank you so much this was extremely helpful I was freaking out because I rent a room ,and I made a hole on the wall, when I was mad, and now I can fix it myself. Thanks.

You need to have some common sense!!! If you can see the mesh patch through the spackling you will see the patch through the paint. You should apply it until, when dry you can not see the mesh. Then smooth it out with sand paper. My wall looks great.
Yeah you can have a little bit of mesh showing and just use a heavy nap roller. But the video example might be a little much. However, I doubt people buying premade drywall patches are going to know how to feather out the compound.
for the first time in my life at 38 I punched a hole in the wall out of anger . I can't believe Iv'e done it, I feel like an idiot now but hopefully I will learn it's never the wall's fault, no matter what happens.
it's best to ad a second, or even third coat, and you're going to have to spread the area out to hide a slightly raised spot. Also try to match the texture of the wall using handy tips found here on youtube, before you paint the surface, to really blend the patch. The general rule of thumb is: the more time you put into the work, the better it will look.
@@Family__Guy_ Yep I have a crack in the drywall opposite to my bed, which guys who were renovating the bathroom on the other side of the wall made. They came and mudded it in for me to paint, but it then reappeared few month later. Before I painted it over ... That was 15 years ago, I am still watching this crack (barely visibile, for sure) every night ... Somehow the mud acquired the tint of the wall over this time ...
The playing dumb and biological man comments are too much. Just show the repair. The host doesn't have to be a moron in order for the video to be informative.
yea she was really doubling down on gender stereotypes with the "you are a man this is your work" and the "can i really do this as a woman?" sorta talk
I just used the pink spackle a couple days ago. It is slightly harder to spread on the wall than the white stuff. It seems to be a thicker consistency. When it turns white, thin areas will flake off just touching it. I let it dry overnight and was ready to sand the next morning. Patching a hole the size in the video, I think I would use plaster. Trying to feather out an area twice the size of that hole would be difficult with the pink stuff, at least for me.
Who would've ever thought putting spackle on a wall would be so perverted???? haha 1:35 haha "Good! See, you are learning already! You just stuck that up there nice and tight!" :) 2:02 lmao! "When it's wet, it's pink!"
Bill Richardson II Only in countries where it's the only language known and spoken, and even then, they'd have to be so stuck up about it, they'd complain about it on youtube.
Damien Thornes Not being able to type proper English on an American forum is cause for complaint. All others ought to remain in their country of origin and peel carrots for the peasant stew.
I feel like they both are very handy people and delivered this video in the most pandering way possible because its so simple you really dont need a video tutorial on how to do it :P
thank you for the tips n tricks. I already have a bucket of pink plaster and my tool. My question is, can I buy the mesh on its own or, it sold in a kit? Your video is helpful. Thank you.
We used that spackley last job, & I just got a small hole in the apt. I'm getting the kit, Thanks slot. Do you know if you still can go to the hardware with the paint chips & they match the color? Happy new years
Great video many thanks. I would further recommend you wear at least a face mask when doing this, especially the sanding part - you don't want any of that dust getting in to your lungs. Speaking of which, take caution that the wall your about to repair isn't asbestos, if it's an asbestos wall - get the professionals in for the repair. This method is recommended for drywall or aka plasterboard walls as we call it here in Australia.. All the best, Jase, Australia :)
Here's how I did it: 1) carefully sand down the drywall paper so it's not sticking out past the hole 2) cut a piece of the fiberglass mesh about the same outline as the hole. 3) super glue the mesh inside the hole, this will give the spackle something to grab onto 4) fill hole with spackle (just keep adding more in as it dries and shrinks) 5) sand down as flush as you can until some of the outline of the hole just barely starts to appear. Common sense, if you put a big piece of mesh on top of the hole; either you've got a big bulge that's not flush, or you sand down until you see the outline of the mesh. Either way, it will look like carp.
+Alice Phallus Is it collapsing? I thought it's expanding at accelerating rate. We will all die, however, so i guess it doesn't really mean anything, or maybe meaning is just this unique concept that only humans are able to imagine, so the meaning of the universe equals our genetic imagination capabilities.
I've never used a patch like that, so my question is: After the spackle dries and you sand it, won't the patch become visible? It's sitting above the surface of the wall.
I assume you're taking about having a little square outline around where the hole was. If you put enough spackle on there and sand the shit out of it you'll be good
I never understand how this works, if you put a mesh outside of the wall, isn't there going to be a bump remains there? is there a way to fix it so it appears flat like never been damaged before?
JUST READING THE COMMENT HERE ...This is just precious , i laugh so hard my dentures came flying out across the dining table right next to the hole on the wall
+harvey wallbanger: admittedly I am an overly passionate person at times but I would think she could have at least had a better tone and choice of words. It really was demeaning to women, though the video itself was helpful. I fixed the hole in my wall with no trouble- so no complaints on the technical side. However it really was unnecessary to act like women are incapable of such things-especially coming from another woman. And I can't tell you how aggravating it is to go to hardware stores and ask for help and get these amused older guys who think it's funny that a woman is trying to fix things. Creams my corn I tell you! I do however really appreciate the kind men who take me seriously and just offer professional advice. I wish there were more men like that and more women willing to try new things with confidence.
My brother punching the wall of my mother's living room after losing in a game on his Playstation brought me here. The boys/men (my brothers) are useless, so I have been learning a lot of carpentering stuff to fix all the stuff they have broken at home: my door (i learned to DIY a sliding door to bring more space into my room), my brothers fought and broke the oldest bookshelf, (they started fighting about who needs to pay, so I DIY a bookshelf with what was left). I love what I have learned and would love to take some sort of class that teaches you how to fix stuff at home. I wonder if that is possible? Also, I need to paint the whole with the same color as the wall, is there a way to find an exact match for paint of a wall?
