Repair Small Holes

Quick and easy method to hide unsightly holes walls and woodwork


When you want to repair small holes in walls and woodwork, do the following:

  • Make sure the intended surface is clean

  • Use a putty knife to spread filler into hole

  • Let fully dry (check details on manufacturer's label for drying duration)

  • Lightly sand

  • Prime surface -if you are repairing walls only, use spray-on type of primer, such as KILZ Original oil-base. If you are repairing woodwork, use original (existing) paint, for purposes of touch-up.

  • Repaint surface
