Fill in holes in a wall?
by

I've got a bunch of holes from nail polish storage racks that were screwed into the wall. What's the best way to fill them in?

I used joint compound to fill the holes in my walls then just a light sanding before painting. You can also use spackling.

You didn't say if you were going to end up painting the complete wall once the repairs were made. If so , a couple of coats of joint compound would be best. Take a putty/joint knife and knock off the high spots first. For touch-up, take the handle side of your knife (or anything slightly rounded) and push each nail hole so it's not raised above wall surface. Then take a little spackle on you finger and hit each hole a couple of times. Wipe with a damp sponge after each application.
