Adam Drywall Patches
June 15th, 2008 09:33 PM
I got an interesting technique for working with patching a bunch of existing holes in the warehouse drywall.

The walls are made of 5/8 inch thick drywall, with the patch material being - of course 3/8 inch thick.

I'm thinking miniature router, like the Craftsman All-In-One attachment or Wide-based laminate trimmer, creating a 3/8 inch deep - shelfed patch profile following the outline of an existing shaped patch.

After the groove is cut and patch final fitted, the patch can be glued into place, flush with the surface of the wall.

Or, if its a large patch, a backing board can still be utilized for greater strength, utilizing some spacer stock to reinforce the patch.
Adam Big Project

I'm going to get an excellent chance to apply what I've learned to a BIG project.

It seems this 50 gallon water heater took a little fall off of a flat cart... into some drywall.

Must not be "good drywall" if a little water heater hammer'n (one BIG blow) dented it.

Now that-there is a GOOD dent.

What is that?

Looks like an almost "perfect" crescent shape to me.

It's a "Manufacturer's defect"!

Craftsman's got a new double-edged saw blade drywall cutting tool, with a viscous looking tip.

I believe I have an excellent trial DIY project for that little baby!

Or, maybe a Craftsman Cut-All power tool?

The good news is, the water heater already had come back with numerous dents (DIY job?) and was slated for destruction, before the fall.

Chalk one up for, "Keep your hallways CLEAR!"
