Repairing drywall with Butterflies Part 2



A few more small steps and we will have a nice butterfly patch.
Take the new piece of drywall and hold the paper you left on back with your fingers.
Now with the patch covering the damaged area, take a pencil and mark around the new drywall. Make sure that you mark the patch so you can put it in the hole you made, the same way you had it on the wall when you marked it to make the hole. Now score the marks you made around the damaged area with your razor knife. Take a hammer and tap the inside of the score marks. After the drywall breaks, trim the lose drywall with the razor knife. Now that the hole has been trimmed,



take your butterfly patch and try it for fit, but make sure that you are putting it the hole the same way you marked it. If it feels like you have to force the patch, take it out and trim the hole with the razor blade knife. After you have a good fit, you are ready to move on to final steps.
