A typical railing bracket mounts into a wall stud if you can remove it and place it on the closest wall stud that would be best.If that cannot be done then I would cut the patch from stud to stud and nail a 2x4 between for an anchoring point.Hope this helps===Bob

Hi. I have a hole about the same size in your video, but behind it is where a section of stair railing mounts to the drywall. If I patch the hole as you did in the video, will it be strong enough to drill in to and accept the weight of the railing again? The railing is about 8 feet, and mounts to the wall in in 3 places (top, middle, bottom). Thanks for your help!

Home Depot should have everything you need.Mud is actually drywall topping .Cost for a six inch mudding knife you can expect to pay 5/6 dollars razor Knife 3/4 dollars small amount drywall and topping compound 7/8 dollars.This should be enough to do several small repairs as described in video.Hope this helped===Bob

ok im a serious novice in this area, caused some holes at home and i needa fix em. 1st question, can i get all these materials at any hardware store? like home depot or something?
2nd question- when you say mud, is that something you can buy as well at the store? dry wall as well.
3rd- can i get a ballpark figure as to how much it'll cost? thanks a lot

Great info I have done alot of personal work on my homes and I had patched up a couple of holes made from doorknobs and I had never thought doing the repair like that. That is great, no tape and no screws. Cant wait to try it out some day. Thanks

If your wondering why the finished patch looks different than the rest of the wall, don't forget to sand smooth and then texture. Best way to texture a small hole like this is with the cans of texture spray you can buy at the hardware store. Practice on a side piece before using it on the wall so you can get a match. When dry don't forget to prime before you paint.
Good Luck |
