Poly | How to fill hole in a plaster wall

Every plaster wall is prone to wear and tear over time, from scratches in the paint to ever-widening dents and holes. We’ll show you how to fill a small to medium sized hole – the sort that might be the result of an errant hammer swing or a door handle being slammed open one too many times – with no mess and no fuss.

Finally one that’s straight to the point / no extra irrelevant steps, no confusing/hypocritical statements etc etc etc

Thank you so much. You saved me from a much bigger job for a small crack.

But then the whole patch is going to be raised since the tape is placed on top of the wall surface?

[NeOAnderson]

What is this product called? and is there a product like this that you can then drill into?

[oujee]

You will see "bump" at this spot with right lightning

Good idea to wet the hole so that the filler will bond to it 👍👍

Dude omfg thank you so much my mum wanted to paint the wall and she was out and I got mad and punched a whole in it so I fixed it and painted it for her

Pollyfilla Deep Gap doesn't need bridging material. It's powerful stuff

I have been panicking since i found out about the hole i want to fix it as quickly as possible. Can I use cardboard to replace the filling knife ?
Thanks in advance

Would this method work on a hole about 120 x 80mm where a double power socket used to be? Thanks

[jillflorian]

What about a large hole? Like 6 inches in diameter? Still work?

[Dino]

Holy shiznit I've been doing this wrong for years! Cheers!

[djyorgi]

Do you just sand the tape as well or peel it off after the filler dries?

[Briannafrancis-eg]

What about the mesh... You put it too wide? Is it sandable?

[apphia]

What is the name of the product used ?

[billytubes]

But we can't drill in the same place again, can we? As it will be hollow behind the tape

[albertgriffin]

What is the tape you used over the hole please

[alecbanks]

Just used your method on a ceiling thanks very much from Scotland

[jcmachinehead]

That looks like it was filled twice and no way it will be OK the way it was sanded

So Im in the middle of moving house and when moving stuff around someone knocked the wardrobe off balance and the corner has put a decent sized hole in the wall, could probably fit a football in there, lmao.

Hope this works for bigger holes in the wall
