How to fix a gaping gash in wall
+3
Caused by improper removal of adhesive sticky 'hooks' ? There's a round 'gash' on wall about 4 in. big. Paint and part of drywall looks to be missing, how can I fix this before painting over it? Thanks!

Buy a small container of ready-made wall spackle and a trowel that is larger than the defect. Put on SMALL and THIN layers at a time and let dry in-between each layer. You won't even have to sand. Might take about three or four layers. Then, when the defect is filled and flat to the adjacent wall surface, swipe lightly with a damp sponge to give "texture" to the patch. Then prime and paint. -
