Maybe just making the hole a square would be easier.
yup
Without backing, that is just a bandaid.
I also feather the edges with a damp sponge instead of sanding.
@@militarybrat9734 you’d be surprised how strong a patch like that can be....I have done it a lot over 55 years ....I’ve also did back bracing and cutting back to the studs to repair...... but usually a patch like that last longer then the rest of the wall especially in rentals
A square butterfly would've been far easier and less time consuming
That original "patch" was a "hopefully we get the security deposit back" patch.
2nd patch is just as bad.... Lol!
@@kjones7270 That's what I was thinking. Why bother doing all that if you aren't going to support it from the back?
Not even. Why put in any effort if its gonna come out like that?Holy fuck thats cringe. You can go to walmart and even get the paint matched with a chip off the original paint. Get a can of orange peel and sanding prep. Ive helped countless friends get their security deposits back lol mind you im not ensuring customer satisfaction nor am I professional so it was all to purely look good on sight. Just saying how easy it is on a bumblefucl level to do this in the hopes of retaining security deposit.
@@MrZimmaframe you start off saying you don't understand and then you start spitting facts like you do understand. So, do you understand or not?
That patch is perfectly fine. No one will lean on the wall and pop it out. It's a sturdy and solid patch up to a certain size. At the size he has it at, it's perfectly fine.
@@Big_AlMC ??? He didn't paint it because that's the painter's job lmao
Handyman: “Yeah sex is cool and all but have you ever perfectly matched knockdown?!”
lol
That's awesome
Not if that's how he does it. He dragged that blade in at least four different directions. That'll never blend or match the existing knockdown pattern. Look before knocking down, knockdown in one direction.... following the direction of the original knockdown.
Most people here aren't here because they own a property, it's because their wife told them to fix it.
Ya I still couldn't. I'd just call someone lol. Not really my thing.
I used to do it like that but now I screw a 1" x 1/2" or similar piece of timber behind the patch, it then becomes much stronger
I like to use OSB and screw it all together.
That's using dead wood. What we call it and u are correct
We
That's called a california patch lol
Thats a much better way than the video.
Learned this patching technique from a journeyman carpenter when I was around 20. Great technique to get the job done right and looking great.
This technique is great but I've never seen anyone cut the patch round. Usually the hole being patched gets cut out larger into a square to get rid of any impact damage where the drywall blew out on the backside, but great work nonetheless. As long as it looks like the damage never happened and returns the structure of the wall back to normal then it's a good patch job
The Handyman does a great job ... suspicious he's only doing this until he starts his Beard Soap company
Your method is exactly the same as I use with one exception, try placing mud on the edge of the insert patch, that will bond the new piece and the existing wall.
I’ve done wall patching and similar stuff to this, but I’ve always wanted to see it this way. Super cool.
I have got to get one of those sanding attachments for my shop vac👊 that knocked off an hour or more of prep time. Thanks for the tip👊
Yep. I accidentally found another guy using one on YT, and ran out to buy one the next day. I wish I had known about it years ago. Is a huge improvement to sanding drywall
Everyone is asking about the hand masker to put the tape and paper on the wall. Here is the link. amzn.to/2UrtzNL And here is the sander that attaches to my shop vac. Drywall sanding attachment amzn.to/2HT8AjH
Home depot and Lowe's both carry that as well. Right next to the masking paper and masking tape, same aisle.
Run some hot water over those texture cans to build up the pressure and they’ll clog less often.
never even thought of that, its so simple, but genius.
For the price of that can you could texture 8-10 sheets using bucket mud. I'll use cans for really small orange peel patches but knockdown from a can rarely matches. Especially if it was done originally with a large spray rig.
@@codydean10 LEEROY AHJENKINSS!
I agree I do it.
I leave them in my car on the dash or on the hood to get em nice and warm
Great patch H•Man ....
Even tho it's covered by that ugly texture crap, u still took the time to do that patch perfect.
Always keepin it 100 - appreciate u man .
I’ve heard that called a “California patch.” Never done one before, I usually just square the hole and use backers. I’m sure it looks perfect though. Good job on matching the texture. I did a 17x32 patch and a 16x17 patch on a 12 foot ceiling up against crown last week and did a real good match to the existing knockdown texture using thinned down mud and a grout sponge that I customized for the job. Knocked it down with a 12” taping knife. I was proud of the result!
I was thinking the same thing and coincidencently I'm from California lol I prefer to cut out a slightly larger piece and scribe it to get a perfect fit while using backing.
It is called a California patch but ya supposed to make it easier b squareing up the hole fo faster fit.
That the right way to do it but some times you got to work with what you have in hand ?
That Carpenter has some very good skills. Good job fixing hole.
Yea it’s a California patch it’s good in not so traffic areas , but when you keep walking around there and could be dinged a lot it’s better to use backing it’s more proper for high traffic areas
That's seriously cool, I'm pretty far from a handyman with next to no experience outside of installing small sections of mouldings and making smal plant stands and boxes, so I never knew you could do it like that.
The next time I have to patch drywall (did my first one last month, came out pretty well!), but don't have any studs to work with, I now know a good way to fix it up!
I have watched wall patch videos before this one and my wall ended up with a large mound both from this method and then I cut it out and tried a different method with the same bad results
Why do the Cali patch and instead cut the square out and add a couple fir strips and then mid?
Just as good and makes me more money.
You are in the right place. I have a cool tool that I just got this week. I don't know how I made it this far without it. Video on it coming soon.
We call it a hot patch where I'm from. Fine work Sir.
@@TheHandyman1 I'm curious, how does this make more money?
@Barry Obie Takes less time. I've done hundreds of these over the last 2 decades. For small holes this is fastest with least trips to trailer, to HD, least amount of materials. It gets amazing results that last a lifetime.
Interesting baseboards, I like them
Destruction vs Construction ‼️👍
California patch 😎
Tightbond powergrab works like magic in that situation .
Interesting way of doing it. Cutting out that jelly bean shape was confusing and impressive at same time. I’d of made a square and put timber behind but nice work 🇬🇧
Day 7 of asking Handyman to say howdy in the intro.
Would this type of repair hold up if pressure was placed on it, like if someone leaned on the wall there? Or if someone who wasn’t aware of the repair tried to use a drywall mount there? Thanks and love the videos-I have learned lots and found inspiration for many projects.
This is very strong. Setting compound cures very strong.
This is exactly how I patch small holes too. I just usually square it off instead of trying to cut a circle, I always mess up circles
I was searching the comments thinking I was the only one doing that lol
Cut out square around hole, screw in scrap wood behind drywall to have something to screw in new drywall, match square from step one with piece of drywall, cut, screw in, mud, drink budweiser, sand, spray texture, knock down with putty knife, match paint, get mad at paint logistics, paint, strut cause you da man
Always knock down in one direction..... follow the direction that was originally done or it will look like a patch (not match). Handyman went in several directions when knocking down.... no way that will blend or match. Sign of a patch for sure.
Yea he made that more difficult than it shoulda been lol
Exactly square it off measure yur square boom
Great way to fix that mess. Knocking the back side of the patch leaving the paper. He obviously knows what he’s doing. He doesn’t need advice from anyone.
I work for my local city and sometimes I have to go out to a home for someone that is renting it out to turn off the water for them because the former tenants decided they were going to clog all of the sinks and the bathtub and turn on the water and destroying the home. This is one of the reasons why I don’t blame some of the things that landlords do like not making repairs quickly. Don’t get me wrong there are some terrible landlords, but the tenants do much more damage to the situation.
Love watching your process. You've got a lot of natural, acquired, and innate skill.
The Bob Ross of drywall repair. Keep it up love the videos.
Happy little knockdown textures
That’s a really good texture match. Boom
Everything looked safe to me. I have a couple of dry wall repairs coming up. This video helped a lot. My drywall skills are low but getting better. I follow your Chanel but I always seem to find something I have not seen. Thanks for sharing! Stay safe.
I got to get that sander, there was no dust! great job Sir!
I learned something today if I ever need to patch a drywall hole.
Bought a 20V Dewalt multi tool since I saw it in one your older videos, I've had about a month and it literally changed how I do projects as a DIY'er. I've used it on about 5-6 projects and its a total game changer. Love learning tricks from your channel!
Having a quality portable drill is half the battle many times!-John in Texas
I’ve watched about every video you’ve put out, and you get the most excited when you match the texture perfectly. Gotta love those small victories.
I blogged about this years ago. It's called a "California Patch".
I enjoy watching your videos and I think you do great work but I have a question. Why do you leave the trash drywall in the wall? This isn't the first time I've seen it done.
Curious why you finished with hot mud instead of something lighter that's easier to sand? Is this because you sanded without it fully being cured and because you were texturing afterwards anyway? My favorite #1 Home improvement show on TH-cam in the World! Keep them coming!
Because the entire patch from start to finish had to be completed within an hour. No time to wait for it to dry before texture.
@@TheHandyman1 aha, so time permitting you would have set the patch with hot mud and finished with a lighter compound?
@@iiaandre When I do larger drywall installs I will use a topping compound. Its light weight and sands easy. Setting compound is harder to sand. I didn't need to sand much at all on this repair.
Handyman, don't use those jumbo cans of texture they fail all the time. Get the standard size ones. Also put them in the sink with hot water for 10 minutes, raises the pressure and they spray way better.
Nice job. I got my start in the industry doing drywall finishing. Since then I've expanded my resume to full scope builder/renovations. I do enjoy your videos. I try to catch all The Handyman and The Handyman Business . I find them very informative. Try to find short cuts or easier ways for myself also your business insight i find helpful.
Thanks and keep them coming
Ole Handyman filling in the holes in our drywall _and_ our hearts!
💜! 🤗
@icarus - He can sew, too? A *true* handyman!
Take it easy man!
Still not solid tho press to hard and it would fall in? Better idea is cut a square in the wall where damage is. Cut a square bit of plasterboard out so it fits perfect. Get a little bit of wood to put in the wall screw it through the wall so u have the wood going across. That way the new cut out bit of plaster can be screwed to the wood making it solid. Then u can finish it off nicely and not need to worry about being gentle when ur finishing it
I recently had the same problem with that homax texture
Way to take that California patch to the next level! One thing I have found works well is putting a nice glob of mud on the back kinda angled over the new drywall. It squeezes in the gap and then gives the paper some mud to stick to. Best knock down match I have seen. I just had to do a patch where it looked like a skip trowel job was the original but right next to where I had added new outlets, someone used knock down for another patch... I tried to blend them both. It was very frustrating. Great job.
I've probably only patched 50-100 large holes but I found it easier to cut out a square patch, just use a straight edge and cut out a nice even square, sure this is faster though.
I only do this on small holes.
I don't even need to patch a hole but thank you for showing me how for when I need to 👌
Why don't you bring a mixing bowl and a beater to mix your mud?
Literal genius, folks. 🐐
Nice work.. I couldn't have done this. Why in the west do they use the texture on the walls? In the midwest, walls are smooth like a baby's bottom..
level 5 walls cost to much. This article helps explain the different levels of drywall. www.thespruce.com/the-five-levels-of-drywall-finishing-4120152
@@TheHandyman1 Thank you
Over the years I would say I've done at least 150 200 drywall repairs. I've always squared it off and put in backer made out of either metal or 1x2 wood. I've never seen your technique before watching this video. I must say, I much prefer your method it's a lot quicker than squaring it off and putting in backer in the future I'm using your technique.
His method is called a Hawaiian patch or California patch. One that size should have had a wood backer, especially in such a high traffic area.
I had forgotten about that method. I dont enjoy texturing drywall but now I look forward to my next patch.
The remarkable information you provide to your viewers needs to be applauded. I sincerely appreciate your effort to expand your viewers knowledge. A sincere thank you!
And that's a good job I can't even tell the difference where did that hole go?
He should've dropped a momento in there before patching it. Something really nostalgic for future generations to find. A shirt with a banned assault caulking gun would be interesting.
@@droolbunnyxo9565 I once opened walls and found spray painted names of the plumber's and carpenters in the wall. One electrician even left his business card inside.
I found a world war two soldiers personal medical book in the wall and he had been diagnosed with syphilis 😳 had contracted it whilst away from home.
Good old fashion butterfly patch. Nice work
Nice California patch. What did you charge the home owner? $500?
Is this what is known as a California patch? I think I seen this method on ask this old house.
I learned this method a couple of years ago and it changed my freakin' life. It makes it SO much easier to patch holes!!!!!
Yes it does!
on smooth finish walls, i find it advantageous to cut square to studs and put in a solid piece of drywall...hard to get those edges down on level 4-5!
The biggest thing to remember with knock down is to get back up 😬
I know the whole wall is getting painted, but I can't understand is how would you do to paint just that spot and blend in with the rest... The same happens with auto body repair, dudes just repair and paint a spot in a door or hood and it perfectly blends in... It's like magic to me lol (sure it has something to do with me sucking at painting)
This guy sacrifices listening to the radio while he works so that he can make videos to teach you stuff that you could have learned as a child if you paid attention to your dad.
Just did this ! Was amazed ! Art 🖼
Everyone calling a butterfly patch a California patch.... anyway nice job 👍🏻 and hope the emperor’s edict doesn’t hurt your business in the coming weeks. God bless and keep making the awesome videos 🇺🇸
I hope so too
The way you chose to cut out a round piece to match the hole rather than to cut the hole into a nice square...holy cow! Your experience shined!!! Awesome work!
What experience? That was really dumb . I can tell he doesn’t have much experience doing this
@@MrSGH21 waiting on your “professional” video to be posted
@@dillon7981 when did I use the word “professional” ? I’m not a youtuber and I don’t post videos. I just said I can tell he doesn’t have experience because of the way he does the patch. And someone wouldn’t use that spray can to do that patch. I didn’t say he didn’t do a good job I’m sure it turned out well
That’s how I patch the holes in our rental properties we call them “hot” patches
Looks great, though I was thinking clean the blade after every pass. like when doing taping.
Would’ve been easier to cut the hole into a square and use the outline of the piece you cut out for a template for a new piece. Cut some scrap wood and put them against the back part of the wall for support, screw then in. Screw in the new piece of dry wall and mud
Very nice job! You probably know this but, if you take a damp sponge around the edges as the hot mud sets up, you can feather the edges into the existing texture and also lightly knock down ridges. Almost no sanding needed. 👍
Great tip!
This little trick had made me a ton of money! Only thing I do differently is I mist the paper on the patch before I mud. Probably doesn't help, but it makes me feel like the mud grabs it better. Also, SPOT ON with the knock down blending!!!
Mud doesn’t grab better but it helps to push out excess mud when you took it I have found.
There is no way that blended. The original knockdown is done in one direction. He dragged his blade in at least four different directions. That will look like a patch every time.

Man, watching this really makes me feel like a hack.
@@YouSoundButtHurt I have but since I don't do it for a living I go into it hoping for decent results.
Makes me want to redo a couple wall "patches" I've done lol
@@stevemarquez9628
I've found people who do projects for their own homes tend to make everything nicer and neater... It's something you don't have to get done in a certain time frame and you have more attachment to the project itself because that's where you lay your head.
I’m thinking you should’ve put a thin backing in their as in a false backing… That way it has something to sit on two aside from just mud adhesion. But, then again, what matters is the finite result! So, good job
The moment you told yourself to leave the ridge.. lol I feel ya.
Good to see someone else who gets it.
I just had a dry wall repair today and all I had was 5min mud (too quick for this guy). Started to set before I was ready and mid frustration I took a deep breath and said WWHD. Leave it! Lol
Thanks for the video Handyman, love that sander vacuum combo👍
I’ve been doing repair/remodel work for the past few years and this is the first time I’ve seen a sander attachment. It’s pretty sweet!
We call that a hot patch
Damn that patch looked sorry. Cut it out larger and re do the repair correctly. My mom could have done a better job than whoever did that patch. Cant tell you how many patches I've done because of tenants. I got out of the drywall contractor business almost 20 years ago
Lay the knife down more because you need as much mud on the wall. Ok the second one you don’t have to lay it down that much
Why do Americans Texture the Walls? Why not just leave them Smooth and just paint - it just eliminates an extra process you have to go through, by putting a texture on the wall and the texture look ugly, it looks like you are trying to cover up some flaws.
Dam your good
Thank you.
U gonna be on this house forever!!!
What about screwing it down. You put a thin piece of wood behind it and make it solid
Now a video on how to make a proper paint cut line on textured wall to textured ceiling. Pain in the ACE
Before painting do small bead of painter's caulk between wall and ceiling. Ace pain will be reduced...
@@joeb2480 that's about the only way I know to do it. That's why I stay in the Midwest where my walls are flat 🤣 ( just kidding can't wait to leave) . I Visit Dallas a bunch and that's all is see is textured wall homes.
All that biznatch!! 😉🤣 Buy some merch!
Thats good stuff right there, as always great job Handyman!!!!
Nice lap sponge. Enjoyed the video. Take care.
Someone works in surgery. I use them for everything 👌🏽👍🏽
What do you charge for a patch job like that?
How much would you charge for a one patch like that including the primer and all.
300+ its the time, it's at least 3 hours even with 20 minute mud, that being said you could do up to 6 patches for the same price.
Trace the exact same hole easier by using some paint around the hole and hold your patch up against it to transcribe the hole shape!
How much did you charge for this job
I always square it up. And use a backer board behind it and then u are only having to mud the seems.
This was really good work. As an electrician, my hole patching is, fortunately, very limited but - been there, done that.
One thing the 'do it square people' are missing is that you do *not* patch anything with a straight line, especially not in the middle of a flat wall.
They eyes will catch even the slightest trace of a straight line. This handyman did it right.
As to the negative stuff about the 'California' patch - sigh. It's a perfectly good method and absolutely solid.
It’s not a flat wall. It has texture, so there would be no straight line seen. Also, if you do it right on a “flat wall” you won’t see a line. This guy wasted a lot of time doing this.
Dead wrong on many levels. Just because the patch is a rectangle doesn't mean the paper flange surrounding it has to be square. Also, if you can see the line from a straight edge, why wouldn't you be able to see the seem from an irregular edge? You will see both. An irregular shape would look weirder.
You never want to try and fix a circle hole. It is really hard to blend and cover up
Thank God. Seriously. We finally have a good drywall patch tutorial, and I had been hoping to find one. Ty sir.
I hate those cans with a passion! They used to sell a product that came with different size tips that was amazing but they discontinued it and now we are left with these crappy cans
Look into the ez spray texture gun.. way better than those cans
Is that the one with the bag of texture attached to the bottom of it.?
Ya. You can get the bags at sherwyn Williams, at least where I live. I get better control over those cans.
It look like a good system. I'm going to have to check it out more.
I didn’t know they made texture cans. Yes!
Great job as always, love your tricks and tips✌️
How did you get the perfect outline of the circle traced?
I'm an artist.
I recommend 5 minute mud so you don't have to wait 30 minutes between touchup coats. Also, I sculpt in on the borders thick layers of mud that grab the back of the drywall and the sides of the hole so a 1" thick ledge is formed. I then layer on thick 3/4" layers until hole is filled. I do this all with just mud. 5 minute mud. Your way might be better its close.
Thought you already fixed this hole! lol
why go to all this trouble and not support the patch from the back side ?
I've had the same texture issue with the past 4 bottles. I've gone to the oldschool hammer wrapped in a wrag dip technique for small knockdown repairs
@@JonnyDIY i meant to add that i wrap a plastic bag around the rag. basically the same technique as you but with a rag and hammer for more control
