Patching Drywall

When Patching a hole in your Drywall , (depending how big it) is always use Drywall Tape. Make sure to cover the hole with Joint Compound first and then embed the tape in the compound. It will take 2 0r 3 applications before you sand & paint. If the hole is bigger (12"x 12" etc..) then you will have to make a Blow Out Patch. This requires that you place pieces of wood into the hole along the edges,screw them in place,then add a piece of drywall cut same size as the hole & screw that in place also. Then it's just a matter of taping & mudding the hole,sanding, then painting & your projects complete!
