To fill a drywall hole, use spackling compound to push into the hole, smooth it off, and let it dry.
The process is straightforward when using spackling compound:
- Apply Spackling: Take a small amount of spackling compound on a putty knife.
- Fill the Hole: Push the spackling compound into the hole, ensuring it fills the space completely.
- Smooth the Surface: Use the putty knife to smooth the spackling compound, making it flush with the surrounding drywall surface.
- Let it Dry: Allow the spackling compound to dry completely, as per the manufacturer's instructions.
