What happens here

Hold the scrap piece of 3/8 inch drywall against the wall, positioning it over the existing hole. Ensure the drywall piece extends roughly 1.5 inches beyond the edges of the hole on all sides. Use a straightedge, such as a metal ruler or a taping knife, and a marker or pen to carefully trace the outline of the drywall piece onto the wall. This will create a clear guide for where to cut the wall.

Goal: Precisely mark the area to be cut out on the damaged wall.

Tools and materials

  • Marker or Pen — To draw the outline on the wall
  • Scrap Drywall — As a template for marking the cut-out area
  • Straightedge — For creating precise straight lines

you so you can hold that scrap piece up probably just a little bit underneath the hole right around there so you can make sure that you're getting past it and we're we're going to go to about there at least so you want to go probably about that big about an inch and a half past where the hole is from the corner and then from The Edge where we're going to stop we want to go about an inch and a half across there so you could take a straight edge or something along those lines you're going to put that inch and a half over the face here there you go and then we'll take our pen all the way down like that so ahead and cut that piece right
