Patching a Textured Wall

DIFFICULTY RATING:

(1 out of 5 - Beginner)

Repair a textured wall using a texture patch repair kit and some simple tricks to blend it into the existing finish.

Step 2: Mark the patch and cut it to size
Hold the patch in place over the hole and mark the area to cut. Trace the area around the hole with a pencil, leaving at least 1/2 inch all the way around the outside of the hole. Cut out the patch, being careful to cut around the pieces of texture. Leaving the texture pieces complete will allow the patch to blend in better with the texture on the wall.

Cut the patch, making sure to cut around the texture spots.
