Answer 2

Home centers sell a wall repair kit which comes with a piece of mesh, joint compound, and knives to spread the mud.  It's a fairly simple process.  You cut the mesh larger than the hole by about 2" on each side and adhere to the wall.  Then you will apply 3 coats of joint compound, each coat spreading further out.  sand the edges to feather them to the existing wall, spray some matching texture if desired, prime, and paint.  Altogether, with the drying time between the coats of mud, it's about a 3-4 day process.  Hope this helps.

umm i would puddy the wall 1st and let it dry. Then you need to make sure that there is enough puddy to keep the hole in the wall covered. After that you can repaint the puddy spot so there wont be any white blobs showing, but that is opitional , most people would paint the spot back. That is about the most simple solution to fixing a hole in a wall. All the items you can get a Lowes. I know the puddy doesnt cost to much maybe a $1 and some change. The paint depends on what size can you get and what kind of brand or color. I hope this helps you out with fixing the hole in your wall!

Answer 5

My family had the same issue, except with the door-k**b .You will need a putty knife, a small container of joint compound, a wall patch kit, and some paint to make it all blend in. The directions are on the can of joint compound. You can find all of this at Home Depot.
