FAQs
What size holes can this patch repair?

How long should I wait before painting?
Allow the joint compound to dry completely, typically 24-48 hours, before sanding and painting. Refer to the joint compound and paint instructions for specific drying times.
What type of paint should I use?

Is the patch waterproof?

Can I use this patch on ceilings?
Yes, the patch can be used on ceilings, but ensure proper support during application, especially for larger holes.
Troubleshooting
Patch is not adhering properly.
Ensure the drywall surface is clean and dry before applying the patch. Use a brush or cloth to remove any dust or loose particles. If needed, lightly sand the area to improve adhesion.
Joint compound cracks after application.
Apply joint compound in thin layers, allowing each layer to dry completely before applying the next. Avoid overfilling the patch area. Ensure proper sanding after drying and before painting.
