How To Fix A Bent Corner On A Wall. DIY DRYWALL REPAIRS.

Watch on YouTube

What happens here

Once the hot mud has dried (quick-setting mud dries fast), mask off the surrounding floor and any adjacent wall areas that shouldn't be textured or painted. Use a hand masker with 1-inch tape and 9-inch paper to create clean edges and protect from overspray. Smooth any remaining imperfections in the dried mud with a 3M medium sanding sponge. After sanding, shake and test the oil-based orange peel spray texture on a practice surface (e.g., cardboard) to ensure the correct distance and pattern are achieved. Then, spray the texture onto the repaired corner, blending it with the existing wall texture. The oil-based product dries quickly, allowing for immediate next steps.

Goal: Prepare the surface for texturing and apply spray texture

Tools and materials

  • 3M Medium Sanding Sponge 3M — Smoothing dried joint compound
  • Hand Masker — Applying tape and paper for masking
  • Spray Texture Oil-based — Applying an orange peel texture to match the wall
  • 1-inch Masking Tape — Securing masking paper and creating clean edges
  • 9-inch Masking Paper — Protecting surfaces from overspray

What they say

So, right here, we just applied built up a little more hot mud where that transition to that metal is right there. And then we're letting it dry. It's going to set up and dry really fast. And then we're going to sand it and then we'll show you what we're going to how we're going to texture it. So, this 5minute hot mud is setting up pretty fast. I'm just going to be using a 3M medium sanding sponge right here to sand this flat. I'm going to be using some oilbased just a spray can of texture to actually spray texture this and blend it into this wall. Then I'm going to repaint this wall. I'm going to want to take and put some masking down, cover this because of the splatter, the overspray before I spray it. So, I'm going to get ready to do that. Just got myself a hand masker with 1 in tape, 9 in paper. [Music] So, I just been sanding this with my 3M sponge and getting it nice and smooth. Almost ready to spray with my spray texture now. Okay, now it's all nice and sanded, smoothed out. Got my spray texture. Just using an orange peel spray texture to match the orange peel spray texture there. What I just take and do a couple practice shots to make sure you got the right distance, the right texture you want. So, I'm going to be sitting back pretty far to match it. And I got my masking around here to uh make sure no overspray overspray of the texture goes on anything. This is a oilbased product and it'll dry in 5 minutes. So, we can paint over it fairly quickly. [Music]
