@@TheCanadianHomePainter , what if isn't a hole, but an edge? I'm repairing missing ceiling from my switch from a circular bathroom vent fan housing to a square one and have large gaps in the ceiling between the new housing.
@@slappy1965 without seeing it exactly hard to say what is best, you may be able to just use some sheetrock 90, but if it is too big for sheetrock 90 then the patch kit should work
There are different types of patch kits on the market, depends where you live what might be available. This is a mesh tape that has a aluminum backing to keep it durable. There is an adhesive that is on the back of the mesh tape to help it stick and cover the hole before you add your premixed drywall compound. I use CGC drywall compound
A bit of a sag is ok, depends on the hole size , and how much compound is applied. The adhesive on the back should have helped it to stay tighter on the surface. How big was the hole and how big of a patch did you buy?
Unfortunately probably not as big as you need for that, here I have got them 10×10 but if you went right through the ceiling you may need something bigger.
I'm not sure, I have never had that happen, it may be you got one that didnt have enough glue on it. I would return it to the store and try another one.
@@shawnritchie6666 your supposed to scrape it off around the area before and that's what I did, the patch was supposed to stick it was just dysfunctional.
There really inst much prep needed, peel off the paper from the aluminum that has the adhesive on and stick over the hole, apply the pre mixed all purpose compound and repeat a few times then a final sanding , then prime and paint over , hope this helps
That is a tiny hole! I have a hole in the corner where water leak brought about 2feet by 2feet of the ceiling down. Don't think these patches would work.
Great thanks for making it so simple
You are very welcome

I’ve added the patch and applied the compound and now the patch sags. Any suggestions?

How big does those patches come? I stepped thru my ceiling putting up xmas decorations 🤬 lol

I went to attic and ended up in closet, screaming☺
What am I supposed to do if the patch doesn't stick to the ceiling?
