Got a hole in your drywall? A California patch is one of the fastest and cleanest ways to fix small to medium holes without cutting into studs.
Here are a few pro tips before you try it yourself:
✔️ Cut clean edges – Square or rectangular cuts give better results
✔️ Leave paper flaps – That’s what makes a California patch strong
✔️ Don’t overload mud – Thin coats = smoother finish
✔️ Feather your edges wide – This is where most DIY jobs go wrong
✔️ Sanding matters – Take your time or it will show after paint
