First, you’ll need to prep the wall. Start by lightly sanding the damage area with sandpaper to refine the edges and remove any surface fragments. Wipe away any dust.

Next, cover both the problem area and the area you used for color matching with a self-adhesive wall patch. Then, spackle the perimeter and let it dry. Now you can apply more patching material over the wall patch. Once it’s dry, sand to a smooth touch.

For best results, be sure to follow the instructions on the wall patch.

Clean up any debris and lightly feather in the paint to the affected areas.
