No problem, just take a tube of white toothpaste and fill each of those little, “cavities” with it. When it dries, it’s ready to paint. Experts say it is as good or better than traditional spackle for very small holes.
As always, you can see all the previous tips and read the disclaimers here.
Been there, done that. Had to patch a few screw eye holes….. I’m a perv.
Can I introduce you, and perhaps a few of your friends, to a new word?
It is “than”. You can use it in sentences such as “Experts say it is as good or better than traditional spackle for very small holes”.
Try it; you’ll like it.
warringal, can I introduce to the rest of the grammer (oops) cops? I won’t name names, they’ll show themselves in due time. You guys seem to travel in packs.
sarcasm….gotta put an end to that people…
I have had this problem several times as we have removed wallpaper in the past and have encountered it again. Is there something easy to seal the wallboard before painting when some of the paper on the wallboard has come off with the wallpaper leaving the very porous cardboard. If we don’t use mud and sand, mud and sand; then we have wrinkled walls when the paint soaks into the wallboard. It seems like there should be something someone has come up with. Thanks.
