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.
