Drywall
repair, it's a pain, it's time consuming and it just never comes
out the way you'd like it to. Below we have listed a few products

Fast Patch and its related products are tape based.
They are designed to be used on repairs that are 3 inches
in diameter or smaller. Simply apply the patch to the
affected area and paint. They come in both smooth and
textured surfaces.

Wall patches like this come in various sizes and
have a thin metal plate which is covered by an adhesive
mesh material. After applying the patch you would use
joint compound to smooth and completely cover the effected
area. These are easy to use and make for quick repairs
the only headache here is that you need joint compund.

 The
Bear Claw Drywall Repair Clip is an exceptional product
for larger repairs. They are easy to use and make a
more permanent repair. This product is great for holes
that are 3 inches in diameter or larger. The only drawback
here is that they do require joint tape and joint compound.
But if you don't mind getting your hands a little dirty
and want a good permanent fix then give these a try.

So you've covered the hole applied the joint compound
and have a surface that stands out like a sore thumb
because it does'nt match the rest of the wall.
Spray Texture, it's great stuff and really works.
This product comes in two versions oil based and water
based. I use this product quite often and have found
that the oil based version works better. What I have
found is that the water based formula flattens out more
as it's drying and the oil based formula seems to hold
it's texture resulting in a better repair.
When applying the texture use really short quick
bursts over the area and you will achieve a great match.

Joint Compound can be purchased as a premixed ready
to use product or in powder form that requires mixing
to get the right consistency. The powder form does have
advantages in that you can purchase it with different
drying times.
Before applying any joint compound make sure that
you have a nice smooth consistency. Most premixed products
require mixing and thinning with a little water to achieve
a good workable consistency.
Do Not Put It
On Thick, When Applying Joint Compound Thin Is In.
