Chucks tips on using this product on small repairs
I bought this to cover a drywall repair where I had to remove drywall to replace a water valve. Since I have used material like this before and only needed a small quantity, I used a couple of pinches of the product stirred well into about 3 oz of paint. I have found that applying with a 3 inch wide paint brush works much better than a roller. I tilt the brush to about 30 degrees from the surface and use the side of the bristles to dob on the mixture and blend it with the existing drywall surface. Using just a little of the compound in the paint allows you to go back over the areas that appear to be a little light in texture. The brush also allows you to blend into the existing texture without the definite edge that a roller leaves. Chuck M
