Pin holes can easily be covered using a few methods, including a DIY mixture. Here's how:
Method 1: Baking Soda and White Glue Mixture
If you don't have toothpaste, an effective way to fill pinholes is by creating a mixture using common household items.
- Mix it up: Combine a small amount of baking soda with white glue.
- Consistency: Aim for a thick consistency. This is important to make sure the mixture doesn't run out of the pin hole.
- Application: Fill each pin hole with the baking soda and glue mixture. The thick paste is designed to create a solid fill.
- Smoothing: After filling, use a putty knife to smooth the surface, ensuring it's flush with the surrounding wall.
- Painting: Once dry, paint over the filled area with a color that matches the rest of the wall to make it look completely seamless.
This method offers a strong and permanent fix, particularly if you lack access to typical fillers.
