ABSTRACT:
An improved method is provided for repairing damaged portions of an exposed surface of wallboard. The method includes the steps of selecting a repair patch of sufficient area to surround the damaged portion of the exposed surface of the wallboard, positioning the repair patch on the exposed surface of the wallboard so that all of the edges of the repair patch surround the damaged portion, scoring a groove in the outer paper layer of the wallboard by moving a razor knife along all edges of the repair patch, removing the repair patch from the wallboard, peeling the outer paper layer of the wallboard within the area bounded by the groove away from the plaster layer of the wallboard, anchoring the repair patch to the visible surface of the plaster layer by suitable means so that all of the edges of the repair patch are within the area bounded by the groove, spreading a curable repair compound over the repair patch and the visible surface of the plaster layer so that the repair patch and the visible surface of the plaster layer are covered with repair compound, and allowing the repair compound to cure.
