What happens here

Apply drywall compound around the perimeter of the hole on the wall. Insert the newly created 'California Patch' into the hole, pressing the paper tabs firmly into the wet compound. Smooth out any excess compound with a drywall knife, ensuring the tabs are fully embedded and blend seamlessly with the wall. The paper tabs will act as a built-in mesh tape, providing a strong, smooth surface. Allow the compound to dry completely.

Goal: Install the California Patch and apply drywall compound to blend it into the wall.
