How to Patch a Hole in a Wall

G'day all,

How many times has a tenant vacated in a hurry and left your property with holes in the walls. Don't call the plasterer just yet. Check out the video l've just uploaded showing how to repair holes in plasterboard yourself. It could save you a few bucks.

This is video 4 in my series titled 'My Top Ten DIY Tips!'

Here's the link.

If you have any questions let me know

Cheers.:)

You hit the nail on the head with this one uncle knackers :D
I might add,the final coat you applied was not cornice cement but a topping or base plaster that is easier to sand.?

There is a sanding block I use that is twice the length of yours that I find good value also.(You might want to buy one to try)

Good tip Uncle Knackers
 
Thanks for the comment Pa1nter. I think l mentioned in the video that the last coat was a topping coat. And you are right, topcoat is much easier to sand back than Cornice Cement or Basecoat. In fact, once fully dry, cornice cement and basecoat are extremely difficult to sand. I do have one of those long sanding pads but l thought it would be easier, cheaper and more attainable for the DIY'ers watching the video to buy one of the smaller blocks.
Thanks again for the comment.
Cheers mate.
