2. Put a modest corporeality of putty (or spackle) on your putty knife.

3. Push the putty (or spackle) firmly into the hole equally you slide the knife over the hole.

iv. Scrape the excess off the surface.

5. Use the damp rag to wipe excess putty (or spackle) off.

6. Expect for putty (or spackle) to dry, and sand smooth.

On the aforementioned project, my three year one-time had nearly pulled the tie backs out of the door casing, leaving two stripped holes. I wanted to hang the tie dorsum up in the same location, so I had to repair the holes and get out information technology strong enough to hold up to a 3 twelvemonth. quondam!

How to fix a stripped hole in forest:

Materials:
Toothpicks
Wood gum
Damp rag
Hand saw
Sandpaper

one. Dry fit toothpicks so they are snug in the pigsty.

2. Remove toothpicks in 1 bunch and add together glue to the tips of the toothpicks and more than glue in the pigsty.

3. Push button the toothpicks firmly into the hole.

4. Wipe any excess glue up immediately.

5. When the forest glue dries, saw off the toothpicks as close to the hole every bit possible (without damaging your trim.)

6. Use the sandpaper to smooth the toothpicks flush with the forest.

7. Follow up with putty if necessary for cosmetic appearance. (You can use the above directions for patching a small hole.)

Yesterday I showed you the transformation of a curbside chair named Daisy. She had a few holes that needed filling where I had removed the spindles.

How to make full a hole in wood (non-structural):

Materials:
Wood Putty
Putty Knife
Clammy rag
Sandpaper

1. Clean out hole of any dirt or droppings.

2. Roll woods putty in hand to fit in hole.

3. Insert putty in pigsty so button it in using a pencil or similar blunt object.

four. Go along filling the hole until you lot are almost flush with the top.

v. Utilize your putty knive to apply final topping of putty.

half dozen. Wipe excess off with damp rag and create a flush top with the surrounding wood.

7. Putty will compress slightly when dry, and then you may need to add another top layer of putty.

8. Once putty is thoroughly dry, sand it smooth.

Besides in the transformation of a curbside chair named Daisy, I had to add new finials to the top.

How to fix a slightly larger hole in wood (that needs to exist structurally audio):

Materials:
Wooden peg (to size of pigsty)
Gorilla glue
Moisture rag
Mitt saw

Sandpaper

1. Dry fit wooden peg so that information technology fits snug in the pigsty.

ii. Remove peg and dampen within of the hole.

iii. Squeeze in a small-scale amount of Gorilla glue (this mucilage will expand as information technology cures.) And insert peg back into hole.

4. Wipe any excess glue upwards immediately.

5. Clamp peg in place until Gorilla glue is dry.

6. After the glue dries, saw off the top of the peg equally shut to the hole as possible.

7. Use the sandpaper to shine the peg flush with the woods.

Screwing into repaired hole:

1. Choose a drill bit that is slightly smaller than the screw y'all are using.

two. Predrill your pigsty.

3. Screw in your screw (or in my case, the finial).

Also, during the making of the cupboard turned into a reading nook. I accidentally knocked a hole in the drywall. The pigsty was besides big for just spackle.

Repairing larger drywall holes (up to 3 inches):

Materials:
Articulation compound
6″ taping pocketknife
Utility knife
Webbed record (or webbed patch kit)
Sandpaper

1. Use your putty knife or utility pocketknife to scrape off or cut away any edges of the hole that are not flush with the wall or trim.

2. Adhere webbing over the hole.

three. Put a small-scale amount of joint compound on your taping knife and push the chemical compound gently into the hole every bit yous slide the pocketknife over the webbing.

4. Extend the compound beyond the taping.

v. Scrape the excess off the surface.

half-dozen. Wait for compound to dry out and add another layer. Your goal is to have a smooth layer on top that hides the webbing and bumps out ever so slightly above your wall surface.

7. Use damp rag to wipe excess compound off and to smooth any visible edges.

8. Again, wait for chemical compound to dry out, and sand smooth and then the patch is flush with the wall.

9. The best way to paint over a larger patch task is to employ a paint roller and pigment at least 2 thin layers of matching wall paint over the repair area.
