[net.rec.wood] question on spackling and hole repair

ccrbrian@ucdavis.UUCP (Brian Reilly) (06/07/85)

After reading through the messages to
this group, I think my question is a little
below the level of discussion here.  However,
I have a problem and I hope someone out
there can offer a suggestion.

I live in an apartment, and my lease expires
in 2 months.  I would like to recover the
entire cleaning deposit.  To do so, I must
replace a section of wall which I displaced
with my fist a couple of weeks ago.  The wall is
pretty standard - wallboard covered with white
paint - but the hole is pretty big.  I have
a big hand.  The old piece of wall is still
hanging on, but my experience with the 
mix-with-water spackle leads me to believe
that I will not do a very good job of replacing
the hole.  In a hardware store I found some
other products which looked like they might be better,
but I have no previous experience with them
and this is pretty much a one-shot deal.  Does
anyone have a suggestion on what to patch the
hole with?

Any and all suggestions will be considered.
Either send them directly to me or post to
this group.

Thanks for any help.
