Method 2: Gypsum Board Wall

Step 3Install the patch

Use the section of wall that you've removed as a template for the new piece that you're going to install. Next:

  • Cut a new piece of gypsum board that will fit snugly into the opening in the wall with the keyhole saw.

     

  • Place the piece in the opening, so that it rests on the new wooden braces. Screw at least four screws into the board, so that they pierce the braces behind. Remember to depress the heads so that they're not flush with the wall surface, but don't tear the gypsum board paper surface.
