Customer Reviews for Wal-Board Tools 8 in. x 8 in. Self Adhesive Drywall Repair Patch

Recently relocated a wall outlet and used this patch as a quick way to fill the remaining hole in the wall. This worked perfectly. Patch comes in a couple sizes I opted for the smaller 4 inch patch. Instructions were included and were simple. Just affixed the patch to the wall and cover with joint compound. When the initial coat dries add a wider second coat to feather out the repair for a seamless and unnoticeable finish. Then your ready for finishing sanding, priming and paint. The mesh tape had plenty of adhesion and the metal backing provides adequate support for a strong finish. Great product and makes fixing small holes a snap.

If you need to patch a small hole in drywall, use this! They have bigger ones, too. Has simple instructions and minimal and recyclable packaging, which I appreciate.

I had 3 holes to patch from intercom removal...all good size holes. See pic. A bigger hole would require a proper repair with braced wallboard and tape. These patches were easy to use, although place carefully the first time. I tried to adjust one and didnt get as close a stick as the first time. After that, the quality of your patch will be up to your skill and patience with applying joint compound, sanding, priming and painting. Each step took me a couple coats to get it to my standard. I'm pretty good at smaller wallboard repairs. I didnt get quite as good a result with these patches but that is due at least to having 3 to do and getting tired of the patch and sand step.

I had a hole in the wall that I needed to patch. I thought this would be a good solution. I sanded around the hole and applied this but when I went to apply the wall spackle, I wasn’t happy with how far this was sticking out in the plane of the wall. The metal seemed too thick for what I was trying to do. I ended up not using this and just filling the hole with spackle. I am not sure if I would consider this in the future (probably not).

Works great to fix holes. Simply peel stick, add putty and you’re good to go

great

The aluminum part of the patch stays visible after sanding. We used 2 of them. The others are being returned to the store. I would not recommend this type of patch for a repair in an area that can not be hidden.

So easy to use and covers the damaged area cleanly

PERFECT JUST WHAT I NEEDED THANKS

It does the job well but you do notice the bulge it makes.

Worked as promised. Great way to repair a small hole or even a larger hole in a wall.

Easy instructions and quick work .

easy to use works best for small holes

Would not stick to the ceiling to cover hole

It was so easy to use and the wall looks great!!!

Great product… easy to use… would definitely recommend it for small quick projects DIY friendly ????

Doesn’t stick very well.

I need to repair a hole in a bathroom wall where my hubby pulled the towel bar off from falling. This makes it a lot simpler to repair.
