Has any one used aluminum reinforced wall patch to fix hole in drywall? Can it be that hard?
Question:my son just put his fist through the dry wall. I took him to the hardware store & got alll the supplies they said, he needs to fix it, But I dont know if I should trust him not to screw it up. Neither of us have ever patched a wall. Is this a job for a professional or can a snot nosed amature handle the job??? I'm thinking he needs to learn the lesson: you did it you pay for it & you fix it your self. Oh I live in an rented apartment
Answers:
good for you making him fix it its easy like it says above but I would count on 2-3 coats of mud with sanding in between before painting plus its an apartment if he doesnt get it perfect maintenance should be able to make it right
He certainly can and should do this! Not only will it teach him a lesson (hopefully), he'll learn how to fix a hole in the wall.
You just peel off the back to expose the adhesive, stick them over the hole, and immediately cover them with joint compound. When dry, lightly sand, prime and paint.
