How It Works
Lightweight spackle is best for nail holes and small repairs — it dries fast and sands easily. For cracks wider than a hairline, use mesh tape behind the spackle. Patches larger than 6 inches need a drywall patch kit with a backing plate. Always overfill slightly since spackle shrinks as it dries, then sand smooth.
