How to Spackle a Hole in the Wall

Hello, my friend, hello again; today we come together to talk about How to Spackle a Hole in the Wall and hope the blog can help you.

Here’s a quick, easy way to repair minor damage to plaster and gypsum board surfaces.

Maybe there was a mishap while moving a major appliance. Or perhaps someone hung some pictures the old-fashioned way by (gasp!) hammering nails rather than relying on damage-free wall mounting strips. Whatever the cause, you’re now facing small dings, dents, and gouges to your plaster or gypsum board walls.

The fastest way to repair drywall is to use spackle compound, a type of putty not to be confused with drywall or joint compound, which are applied similarly but generally used to remedy larger, properly reinforced holes. What’s great about spackle compound is it dries quickly and shrinks minimally, allowing you to patch minor damage without waiting 24 hours before repainting. Nail down precisely how to spackle, and you’ll make short work of all future wall repair.
