Prepare and Spackle Medium Hole

What happens here

For a medium-sized hole, first ensure that the edges of the hole are flat and pushed into the wall. This can be done by gently punching in any raised areas with the back of a spackle knife. Once the hole is prepped, take a small amount of Sherwin Williams spackling compound on a flexible spackle knife. Press the compound firmly into the hole to fill it completely. Then, using a wider flexible spackle knife, carefully scrape across the patched area to ensure it is level and smooth with the surrounding wall surface, removing any excess spackle.
