11/5/2023 0 Comments Wall paste to cover holes![]() If you don't have any interest in having coax in these places, perhaps the coax could be used to pull Ethernet network wiring or something else that you'd find useful in these locations? This is kind of going the other way from what you are asking, but have you considered putting a "remodel box" like this "Super Blue Hardshell" box from Carlon:Īnd then putting a cover on it, possibly with a blank faceplate or a coax terminal? You would end up cutting a larger hole, the size of the box, then you push the box through and turn the screws to lift up the "flag" (dark blue in the photo above" and pull it towards the drywall from the back to secure it in place. However if the hole is more than about 2cm across, you should be fixing a hard backing of some sort. Pushing newspaper or a sponge through the hole so it expands behind to provide a base for the first layer of filler has also worked for me in the past. (No professional would do this, as it need to many visits, but you have not travel costs to your own house) The key is to push the filler well into the side of the hole so it grips well, trying not to have it coming to far in front of the wall, so as to reduce the amount of sending you will need to do. This sounds like a real pain, however if you have lots of holes and you don’t need them fixed today, you can just walk round your house each day making each hole a bit smaller. However as it is not the end of the world if the filler breaks when you try to send it, I would try the easy option first.įor larger holes I have built up with layers of filler passed into the side of the hole then left to dry for a day before doing the next layer. Have a firm base for filler does help, as you need to be able to push on the filler to get it well into the side of the holes. (I am assuming the “spackle” is US for filler.) ![]()
