The old style is paper with several small holes in it. I like the self adhesive fiber glass tape best. It's stronger and you don't have to put a layer of joint compound on the wall first. For a hole the size you described you could put 2 layers of tape next to each other and cover them with compound and be done. Or you can cut a piece of drywall close to the size of the hole and cover the edges. For something that small though I'd use the fiber glass tape and be done. ----- Original Message ----- From: Roger Bachelder To: blindhandyman@ <mailto:blindhandyman%40yahoogroups.com> yahoogroups.com Sent: Monday, February 11, 2008 4:37 PM Subject: RE: [BlindHandyMan] Sheet rock patching Hi R J, Can you explain what you mean by tape? I understand joint compound, but not sure about the tape.

Than tape and joint compound the cracks.

I have a whole in my wall about 2 by 2. There is a second layer of sheet rock behind the one with the big whole. I'd put body filler in it if i thought it would work. I'm not really sure on how to fix this. Can someone enlighten me? Thanks Yawl.
