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

Watch on YouTube

What happens here

After the hot mud has dried, use a 3M medium sanding sponge to sand the repaired area until it is smooth and flat, blending evenly with the surrounding wall. Next, apply an oil-based orange peel spray texture to the sanded area. Before applying to the wall, do a couple of practice sprays on scrap material to ensure the correct distance and texture match. Use masking paper and a hand masker to protect adjacent wall surfaces from overspray.

Goal: Smooth and add texture to the repaired corner to match the existing wall

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]
