ABSTRACT:
An elastic patch for the repair of a hole in an interior wall. This patch is easy to apply and requires no tools. The patch has a pressure sensitive adhesive backing which can be affixed to the wall surrounding the hole. Peripheral portions of the patch are thinner than that portion of the patch disposed over the hole itself. This tapering in the thickness of the patch allows it to be blended in with the rest of the wall so that when the patch is covered with paint, the patch becomes unnoticeable and at the same time this tapering gives the patch a thick central region where strength is needed. A material having a high elasticity is used for the patch so that it can absorb shocks to the wall and then spring back to its original shape, thereby preventing any reoccurrence of damage in the area of the wall protected by the patch.
