Need to make small drywall repairs before painting? Looking for some quick and easy solutions? Today you'll learn a few "make-do" techniques for patching holes and tiny cosmetic blemishes. From deep within The Carey Brothers' vault of, "Now you see it and now you don't," we offer sneaky solutions that others won't. You can speed up small-hole repairs by thinking two in one. Just mix the paint into your spackle, then patch the holes. No follow-up painting is required. In a hurry and you don't have spackle? No problem, just take a tube of white toothpaste and fill each of those little, "cavities" with it. When it dries, it's ready to paint. For larger holes, make a one-piece "hat" patch. Cut a piece of scrap drywall to fit the hole. But on the face side, leave extra paper about an inch all around for "make-do" joint tape. Cover with joint compound, sand, and paint. (With these few tricks, "difficult" it ain't!) And that's the On The House tip for today.
