spackle..........

12/23/2004 07:00 AM doug seibert

I wonder "what" is the defect.......

Is the paint just showing a difference in shade and tone.......

OR is the real problem the spackle has left a visible "hump" or "ring-around-the-patch" or maybe a too smooth slick of plaster....

For seamless patching I like to use a sponge to blend the repair into the texture of the wall......

At this point I believe I'd sand the affected areas to feather the repairs and then spot paint the areas (Several times if necessary).......followed by an final top coat ......

Be sure to stir/mix the paint completely to avoid color matching problems........
