These have been lifesavers. Electrician made a bunch of holes in order to run wire horizontally on drywall. I just use a DRY cloth to wipe the area around the hole (do not use a damp cloth, I tried it and they will not stick), peel stick and coat with a thin layer of putty. They are just stiff enough

These are great for patching small holes in the dry wall they are vey easy to work with.

These are great for small repairs. I bought them to cover up holes left by a/c ductwork.

Worked as described. Would definitely buy again

Works great

There are four items every homeowner or even renter should keep on hand: a resealable GALLON of drywall mud, a 6 inch high quality putty knife, some sort of adhesive mesh like this great product and a small sanding block (which can be as simple as a 2x4 block with 120 grit sandpaper. (A gallon of mud is dirt cheap from any building supply house and will store for 3-5 years if you reseal after each use.)Take the butt end of your knife and press any ragged edges into the hole, then use the blade to briefly scrape it and get it ready for the mesh and the mud. Lay this mesh over the hole and leave an inch or so overlap. Trim to fit! The adhesive should hold it in place if you’re careful.Take a somewhat generous glob of mud, and holding the knife at an angle, apply through the mesh and into the hole. The mud is going to shrink a little as the water dries, so expect a second coat; larger holes will mean more shrinkage. To finish the first coat after you’ve applied mud into the hole, hold the knife fairly flat and leave a layer of mud covering the mesh.Let it dry, usually overnight, then lightly sand using 120 grit paper by hand or using a small block. You may need one final light coat.Here's a tip I learned from a professional, in case you're interested-- your local building supply house, Lowe's or Home Depot can sell you a bag of fast-drying drywall "mud" that will either set up in 20 minutes or 45 minutes. It's a bag that you mix, so you only mix what you need when you need it, then securely tape up the bag (to keep it dry) for next use. The cost? $10 for an 18 pound bag-- that's CHEAP. I keep a bag of the 45 minute mix on hand-- that gives me plenty of time to mix it up and use it, but it's "set" and ready to sand within a couple of hours. (Any "thin" portions you spread out don't necessarily set up in 45 minutes, but the deeper portions do-- but the thin stuff usually dries in less time than traditional drywall mix.) So if you have a hole or large patch to make, you don't have to wait 24-48 hours for your patch to completely dry. Cheap, simple and easy. Just mix it with water, and throw away any excess.Go slow and easy and this mesh should give you professional results as it does for me. I’ve been repairing drywall in my home, my church and our rental properties for years.
