Step 5: Don't be afraid of wiping too hard. Our face material is made from a tough composite and is strong enough not to be bothered by any kind of over wiping or over sanding.
Step 4: Load plug with joint compound as shown and place in hole. Wipe down until the entire face is flush with the wall. Make sure the plug always stays centered during wiping..
Step 3: Double check your fit by placing the plug into the hole. 1 inch of movement or less between the drywall repair plug and hole is acceptable.

Step 7: You'll only need to apply enough joint compound to thinly cover the entire patch. When dry, recoat the patch with another thin layer of joint compound and allow patch to dry.
Step 6: When patch is set apply a thin coat of joint compound. Keep your mud work smooth. Our face material is less than 1/16 inch thick and very rigid. It will hold the plug in place as it dries.
Step 8: When patch is throughly dry, sand the entire area. Be sure to run your hand over the entire area feeling for any areas that might need more joint compound before painting.
