About this Project

Holes up to a couple of inches across can be easily repaired. Pin holes can be repaired with a bit of joint compound or filler putty. For larger holes, use the technique shown below, or purchase a repair patch at a hardware store or home center. These patches consist of self-adhesive metal or fiberglass mesh that can be used to bridge the hole and support the joint compound.
