Step 1: Small Nail Holes

You’ll need:

• Gorilla Wall Repair Kit

• Putty knife

Instructions:

1. Sand It Smooth: Use the sanding block to clean up around the hole.

2. Apply Compound: Scoop out a small amount with your putty knife and spread it over the hole. Smooth it out evenly.

3. Let Dry & Sand: Once dry, sand the area. Repeat the process if needed for a perfect finish.

Step 2: Medium-Sized Holes

You’ll need:

• Self-adhesive patch from the kit

• Putty knife

Instructions:

1. Stick the Patch: Sand around the hole and press the patch over it.

2. Cover with Compound: Apply compound over the patch, feathering it beyond the edges.

3. Dry, Sand, Repeat: Let it dry, sand smooth, and repeat with a second coat if needed.

Step 3: Larger Holes

You’ll need:

• Scrap wood

• Drywall piece (cut to fit)

• Drywall repair tape

• Gorilla Wall Repair Kit

• Drill or screwdriver

Instructions:

1. Add Support: Secure a piece of scrap wood behind the hole for support.

2. Insert Patch: Cut and insert drywall to fit the hole. Secure it to the backing wood.

3. Tape and Compound: Cover seams and screw heads with repair tape, then layer on compound.

4. Smooth It Out: Feather the compound, let it dry, sand it down, and repeat if necessary.

Final Touch: Paint It Like It Never Happened

Once your wall is smooth, go ahead and paint over the patch. Match the original color, and no one will ever know there was a hole there. Clean, seamless, and satisfying.

Pro Tips for Next-Level Results

• Be Patient: Rushing leads to lumpy patches.

• Thin Layers Win: Apply compound in thin coats for better blending.

• Feather Edges: Extend the compound well past the patch for a seamless look.
