Thanks for the tip. This is so much easier than the potato masher and blender I usually use.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂
unfortunately , he cheated on 3:06 and used a regular tool !
😂
1-I am not 60 yet , nor a mason ever , but owl doubt any real masons ever got stunned by this dietary like process known forever , other than perhaps the sifting part to it. 2-And there is no need EVER to use a potato masher nor any of those to get messy utensils.Besides, I can tell you might be , or pretend to be a bad hombre , but surely as hell, God you are not. 3-Besides , the only real Mess i that you needs , specially so that young kids learn about motivation and excelling at school and later at work , so that the commie Chinese, nor any other thugs bent on world domination ever eat our lunch, IS the footballer, the soccer star and goat who came from Europe, after being born in Latin America and is now playing in sonny South Florida , whose first name is LIONel, or El Lion (a la ASLan) Messi, with his out of this world fabulously scoring and winning left foot... 4- ...Hear and heed for good, for these are ''as the days of Jonah'' when God beckons all to repentance Pronto!. Enough of the same old same old UNadulterated BS and ways of old. 5-Again, better that you and company... Shema!!!.
I am also stunned. Stunned that this was so overly complicated and absurdly more involved than it needed to be.
He made a project outa of a small patch!
5 minutes? Somebody is having a laugh!
Rediculious right??... just screw the wood behind the hole, and mud it.
I agree
Right?
This is so much better than the way I usually do it, with the pitchfork, corkscrew and toaster method. Thanks!
Hahahaha
Hahaha 😂😂
You have s toaster? Posh….
@snap-n-shoot Yeah, and it's a nice one too.
ja I was a little dissapointed he did not use a spatula for the clean up - (o: - very nice work - neat man
Im stunned,amazed and flabbergasted at how such a simple job can be made so complicated and half assed.
Well said
Wow, never have I seen a simple job made more complicated.
I agree
That’s because his day / night job is a cook .
I was thinking that 😂😂
Absolutely! You don’t need to use your kitchen utensils, pizza cutter, and 50lbs of drywall mud lol. They actually make tools that will work much better. Ex. Utility knife, rasp, etc. I think the old man should stick to making cookies. Lol!😂
... next week, we show how to use the very same tools for a 20 minute home appendix removal !
That was just about the most overly complicated way of patching drywall that I've ever seen. Instead of getting 2 tools dirty, he also got half the kitchen utensils dirty also. Plus he ripped a lot of paper off the backside of the drywall, which weakens it at that point. The fact that he didn't apply any type of seam tape over the edges means that it will crack and split in the near future causing more work.
I am just trying to figure out why he used so much mud for one patch. He covered almost the entire sheet of drywall.
Hahaha and it probably took him 4 hrs to get to the mud
He ended it with a 👍 though. You don’t end it with a 👍 unless you did a 👍 job!
Over complicated, yes... but the edges on a small repair like this wont crack and split without tape.
That's how he managed to stun the 60 year old mason
I'm a 20 year drywall finisher, and I'm stunned by how long that took.
Is the piece of wood necessary behind it, or can i just try super gluing it before coveriing it with wall filler?
Grâce à cette méthode,fini le chaumage 😂😂😂
A mon avis le gars,a toujours voulu être pizzaiolo 😂😂😂
@@edntz of course the wood is needed. How are you going to superglue it when you cant even grab it on any side?
@@darrenlewis8273 I thought i could glue the edges if the piece of plaster and slowly press it inside the wall hole until it is aligned. let it dry, and then cover it with wall filler. but extra piece of wood is easier, i'll do it as well.
Well there goes four and a half minutes of my life I’ll never getting back.
I am stunned. I always mix up in the saucepan, apply the flour paste with the tea towel, and flatten with the rolling pin. Pastry is good for smaller holes, though I do recommend baking it first for larger holes as he has done.
Wow. Unbelievable. Just use a razor knife. Today's society cracks me up.
And he swirled it way too much.
Pizza cutter?
Honestly if my husband used my kitchen tools for that, I would take away his man card, push him out of the way and show him the correct way to repair drywall. ( yes I can put up drywall, and mud and tape it too.)
*If you don't have any pastry you can use Digestive Biscuits instead.* I've discovered that two Digestives are precisely the same thickness as standard drywall. The only downside is that I had this really terrible day one Friday when I had to trim a client's hedge with a blunt pizza cutter, so after I'd finished I went to the pub and got absolutely blootered. When I rolled home at 1am I was ravenous but had no food at all in the house. I remembered I'd used the last of my Digestives the day before to put up a partition wall in the bedroom. I ended up eating half of my new wall and I can tell you that Magnolia emulsion tastes disgusting.
Why use a putty knife when the cake spatula was in the kitchen drawer right next to the other gizmos?
LOL ... That's EXACTLY what I was thinking! 😂🤣😂
@Shakin' Abe I saw pizza cutter and nutmeg grater. 🤯🤪😵💫
Don't be silly. You'd use a pizza dough blade for that.
Must be an Chef 😅
Should have used an egg timer also. That's a long 5 minutes
I was a Painter/Handyman and sometimes I had to repair Drywall holes. Your method works to perfection. The way I did it was get a piece of Drywall and pollyfilla it and stick it from the inside. leave for the rest of the day then next day fill in completely with Pollyfilla then let it dry then sand and paint wall.
Typical painter!
I think a lot of real masters are "stunned" by such technologies 😁
What will happen if a lot of real masters are stunned by such technologies?
@@cameronbateau6510 For the master, this poses no threat except humor.
Judging by his kitchen tools I think he's a chef, not a mason.
😂😂😂😂😂😂Lol

Not a mason a drywaller. Masons work with brick and mortar.
My thoughts exactly

I was stunned too by this method. Stunned by the use of wrong tools for the job and how complicated it was made. 😂
I agree
And he's doing all of this to the wrong side of the drywall.

Given the kitchen tools you had on hand, this was a clever way to make a perfect wall repair, well done!!
I was really hoping to see the dough roller demonstrated to really smooth it out.
What will happen if you were really hoping to see the dough roller demonstrating to really smooth it out?
@@cameronbateau6510 Well heck that'd mean I get a new kitchen gadget added to my toolbox.
This is the way pretty much everyone repairs holes in drywall only not with kitchen tools. The only other thing was the use of hot glue. I just put the same mud on the support stick I use on the rest of the project. I have also seen others just drive a screw through the patch piece. It is a good idea to adhere or fasten the patch to the support because it helps prevent cracking of the edges over time.
@pookatim...I agree, making the patch stronger than the surrounding wall, but he also didn't use seam tape which over time could show cracks around patch.
he might use a shovel, and cement mixer to make his dinner.
Very interested to see this, as I had the same idea about a week ago, only I used two pieces of wood and no glue between the wood and the plasterboard. Maybe it would be stronger, if one used the same technique on the join between the patch and the drywall, that one uses to join two pieces of plasterboard, i.e. bevel both edges to make a groove between the two pieces and fill it with jointing plaster, finish it off with fibreglass roving and then finish plaster over it. That should be stronger. If you don't want the piece of wood left inside, one can put the wood outside and screw it down to two curly plastic inserts inserted in the drywall and two in the the inserted piece of plasterboard. then, you fill the groove between the insert and the wall except for where the wood obstructs you. When the plaster is set, you can remove the wood and the curly inserts and finish plastering. (Sorry! I do not know the proper English term for the curly plastic inserts that you can screw into plasterboard to hold a screw.)
@@antonywooster6783 there is no good reason to not just put the board inside though... Mudding around the board on the outside just to remove that board And md some more just seems like a waste of time. No offense...
@@harryberry474q
This is how I was taught by a contractor at Hunter Army Airfield back in 1995. I'm a female and was 23 at the time. I was actually pretty good at it. I still prefer this method, excluding the cooking utensils.
Yeah, the next he baked a cake it was hard as a rock, and tasted like sh💩t....
So you're 52 now and still using the most inefficient method on KZhead?
Simple yet effective, thanks. I loves your creativity and simple clear video.
I could only imagine what my co workers would say if I showed up with kitchen utensils to do dry wall with 😂😂
Probably would ask to have some of what you’re smoking… after seeing your work they’d still want to smoke with you but also would be curious as to which isle the kitchen utensils are found on

QUESTION: What size screw is used for the drilling?
Just use whatever u find in ur kitchen drawers next to the pizza slicer
Chuckled all the way through at the use of the kitchen gear! EXCELLENT repair.
I am a 60 year old mason,and the last thing this video did was amaze me .😂
Same, other than the statement that "a 60 year old mason was stunned by this."
Wife: "honey, have you seen my whisk, cheese grater, pizza cutter, & strainer? " Me: "no, sorry"
probably next to the kitchen shears - - - uh, wherever they are !!
A sharp craft knife cuts so much neater and quicker. When I've had to fill a hole the recess behind has been less deep l. I just scrumple up some newspaper into a bundle to fill up the space and then plaster on top. Never failed.
I usually patch drywall doing something similar to this, though it varies depending on what materials I have around. I do find that I get a very smooth patch with very little sanding if I mud 2 vertical strips of mesh tape, then once they are hard and smooth, overlay 2 horizontal strips over the top and bottom gaps. That way, there is a screed going around the perimeter to guide the knife while filling in the center.
A 60 year old mason would absolutely be stunned if he saw you doing that. And would probably say something like, "What the hell are you doing? I'm not a drywaller but even I know that's wrong. Stop wasting time, grab the right tools and hurry up and do it right or get out of the way and let someone else do it."
I was just thinking stunned that he was a plasterer for 42 years while thinking he was a mason🤣 perhaps he's a funny handshake mason🤣👍
some one turned up at a building site, for brick laying, with a garden trowel, for some reason, he did'nt get the job.
I think this man was a brick mason, it clearly stated that so his tools wouldn't do the job. But looked like a home repair in his own home. You use what's on hand. It did the job so why all y'all pros critiquing his work? Let's see your video of building a floor to ceiling brick fireplace.
@@montamiddleton9318 Where exactly does it state that the person doing this video is a brick mason, Or that he's at home, or that these is the only tools he has? Watch some of his other videos, they're all like this. And he has more tools. It's all in good fun. Now get down off that big ole tall horsey and go get a hug.
@@terrynunya7444 Exactly! The man has a sense of humor unlike the snobs in this thread!
And the mud over patch only ended up 20 times larger than the drywall patch. Impressive.
😂
I agree with you. I was wondering what was with the kitchen tools?
I'm pretty sure this is just an elaborate joke targeting all the overly complicated "life hacks" that are circulating these days.
Mason was stunned! The drywall was installed backwards and the repair took longer then needed!
What will happen if the drywall was installed backwards?
@cameronbateau6510 you have an unfinished cardboard surface that's unpaintable. So I'd you want it finished you'd need to skim coat the whole thing and basically do a ton more work that needed.
I've patched maybe a few hundred holes kinda like this. Here's what I learned: you don't need a pizza cutter. A razor knife will do the same thing. Every drywaller has one of those. I would have used two plywood strips to cover the corners, but what he did will probably be ok. Some paper tape would have been good. With an area the size he covered, it will be easy to hide. I've NEVER sifted my hot mud. But maybe I'll try it next time. ( I'm retired, so probably not.) Do you need kitchen tools to patch drywall ? I never did. I reduced my tool inventory for this sort of thing to what I could fit into a mud pan. I'll give this three stars for clear demonstration.
I agree, Down the road ths type of patch will more than likely crack
They're using kitchen tools to troll and get more comments. Just like the wall turned into MDF at the end. All about trolling now, sadly.
Just bevel the hole edges at 45 degree and same (but opposite facing) bevel the patch edges. Then NO need for strips or screws and the patch can't be pushed in as it's backed all around by the beveled edges.
I forgot that part about sifting. From now on I'll sift all the powder used in construction or repair.
Easy! When I had a bigger patch job to do at my house I also used my kitchen mixer. Haven’t found a reason to use the pizza cutter yet, but I am sure I can think of something.

Where I come from, the brown paper is always the backside (wall cavity side) of gypsum board / drywall, so by the time I pulled the drywall off the opposite side of the wall (to access the brown side of the sheet, then hung new drywall, finished, textured and re-painted it. There was a lot more work required and it was really expensive. 🤣🤪🤓 AI
QUESTION: What size wood is used for the drilling? And what type of wood is this?
Any type of wood can be used, but I tend to use 1/4 inch x 2 inch furring strips cut to length. You want them to be wide enough to be screwed into both the wall, and the patch itself. Just make sure to pre-drill your holes before putting the screws in if you use something like pine because the screws can split the wood, and weaken it. Also make sure your screws aren't two long because you can accidentally screw into plumbing, electrical wires, or gas lines. I usually use inch-long drywall screws because the drywall will either be 1/2 inch, or 5/8 inch. The screws will be a bit longer than the thickness of the drywall, and wood support, but not long enough to hit anything. Plus, you can always inspect the inside of the wall before patching, just to make sure nothing will be in your way. I hope this helps.
@@demontekdigital1704 Thank you. I didn't know there were specific "Drywall Screws" that are an inch long like that. I will look for those at the store now. Also, you mentioned how "Pine" wood needs to have pre-drilled holes that match the size of the screws. Does this mean the size needs to be identical? For example, if the size of the screw is a 3/8 does that mean the size of the drill hole will use a 3/8 drill bit? I'm just wondering, because sometimes it seems like there are slight differences suggested for things like that. Finally, at one local store they often just give away "scrap wood" and even cut it up for you. But, I think the wood they are giving away is some form of ply wood that might be even weaker and thinner than pine wood. Is that okay to use?
@@michaelzoran The best way to see if the drill bit is the correct diameter is to hold it against the screw in front of it. All you want to see is the threads sticking out past the bit on either side of it. That means the bit will be large enough to remove adequate material, but also small enough so the threads can grab the wood. When in doubt always go slightly smaller, and you should be ok. As far as the plywood goes, it's perfectly ok to use in this application. I've even seen people use, and have myself used those wood paint stir sticks you get when buying a gallon of paint. The main purpose for using those wood backers is so the patch sits at the same depth as the drywall. It prevents the patch from falling into the hole, sitting at an angle, or sinking in while you're working with it. It also provides a bit of strength, but keep in mind it won't be 100% bullet proof because it is, after all, just drywall. Just make sure you place the backer inside the hole, line it up, and screw it into the drywall. Then when both sides are done you can put your patch piece in, and screw that to the backers. Make sure the screws are deep enough to be able to be filled by the mud, but not deep enough to tear the paper, or crack the patch, or board. All the strength comes from that paper, and it's surface tension.
@@michaelzoran Also, you're very welcome! I apologize for not saying that in my last post, but I got ahead of myself with explaining things, lol.
Instead of sanding, making a big mess. Use a damp sponge. It works great, get the wall smooth as silk.
Damp sponge you can't control the grit. Your at the mercy of your sponge and water.
I swear sometimes the damp sponge makes the mud soft again a little bit. I like sanding sponges to control the dust, but it seems like they can do the same. My preference is dry-sanding.
Fix-It-All Patching Compound, butterfly patch, 5-10 minutes to set, then finishing compound.
Shoot! All this time I thought using my paper plate method was the way to go but...after seeing this technology wow learn something new every day. Thanks you sir you are a real contribution to our society.
OCD stick to cheffing and use the kitchen tools for food prep. Do you use your stanley knife, ruler, pencil and straight edge for cutting each slice of carrot? and the drop saw for cutting your pizza?
I have a weird feeling this takes more than 5 minutes
If you speed up the video, the instruction takes less than 5 minutes, but the task still takes an hour or so 🙂
It’s takes more than 5 minutes to go through the kitchen cabinet drawer to fine cooking utensils. A hand drywall saw or utility knife works no need to drag out a jig saw. I always use drywall tape, each to there on
I been a licensed builder for 29 years and I would have done this a little different for sure. This was the slow way.
this is a DIY. few people want to pay hundreds to a 'licensed builder' to repair a small hole in the wall.
😂, yeah not the most efficient....
I think he knows that
As a Fibrous Plasterer, this is such an easy repair. Some casting plater soaked jute scrim to form a wad fills the hole. Then as the plaster steady's, fill out until roughly level then bring to a finish with a joint rule or busk. That is a 5 minute repair.
The most amazing part is he was able to repair it from inside the wall! He had to because he was working on the backside of the drywall
Wouldn't two back supports--one at each edge, either top and bottom or left and right--be better?
no, only holds the plug in place till it sets, but it needs to be taped or more simplky just do a california patch, much stronger and won't crack like this
Use a utility knife to cut the square out vs a jigsaw and to cut the rear paper. Seemed like you tore the rear part of the paper which weakened the rear part of the drywall. Why use hot glue when you could use one screw to hold the patch? I only use hot glue when screws cannot be used. I also like to use Fibafuse on any open seam.
I am not an expert, but have done my own remodeling for a long time. This is similar to what I have done, but is a slight enhancement. Instead of the piece of wood, I used a piece of drywall, which means I had to wait for the mud glue to dry. The wood and screws would be faster... But I usually have other things to do, so no matter.
This was great! I love that you used several kitchen utensils!
I’ve done that same patch a lot up until I saw the edge (mortaring idea) and the glue on the wood. Good ideas although I do like wood behind the corners. Good video!
wood on two (or 4) corners - I like that better too.
@@RobertTozzi I agree.
@@RobertTozzi the reason I put wood on all 4 corners is what if it’s just across the center. If someone bumps the wall there with not much pressure it’ll break the patch easily.
@@subforceusa694I agree with you need to put more back in wood in there
What will happen if you have done the same patch a lot up until you saw the edge mortaring idea?

60 years olde mason should no be shocked 😮 This was common for the high school home economics class. Perfect use of kitchen tools. 💯 A➕
This was a great way to repair my wall. Thanks
I'm sure that not only was the mason stunned but their plasterer/Gyprocker mate would have be stunned as well!
Great use of kitchen utensils! 👍🏿
As a 69 year old mason I was not very stunned 😮watching this.
Maybe stunned but not in a good way 😂
I was stunned by how bad it was.
lol guess we can use culinary tools for drywall as well 😂 Very versatile! This is a very smart method! In maintenance I have had plenty of times where I will use shim boards behind Sheetrock to anchor to so I don’t have to cut all the away to the studs.
I'm stunned .... holy cow I'm so stunned. What a stunning video.
WOW! The bit of baton was the only thing that was done properly! 1 - Fix the baton(s) for support. 2 - Measure hole and cut a bit of plaster board / drywall a couple of mm smaller. 3 - Screw piece of plaster board to the baton(s), 4 - Cover gaps with mesh tape (so as not to crack, the video shows a potential for a hairline crack as there is no mesh tape.) . 5 Fill over patch with filler and remember to feather it out so not to notice. Always remember there are a lot of people on youtube looking legit but don't do things the right way.
I usually cut away the damaged section, then back the hole with hardboard, epoxied to the undamaged drywall. You can hold it in place by drilling two small holes into the hardboard, passing a loop of cord through the holes, then tying the cord and passing a stick or something through the cord. Turning the stick tightens the cord and hence pulls the hardboard against the drywall and holds it in position while the epoxy sets. then just cut the cord, cut a piece of drywall roughly to-shape and fill in with paste. Dead easy and you can then mount anything onto the previously damaged section of wall because it is now backed with hardboard. Works like a charm and especially useful when the hole was torn by a failed fixture that needs to be reinstalled to the same location.
Is there anything left in the kitchen drawer, what you haven’t used?
Perfect. I was near perfect before doing about 90%. I never bothered buttering both the edges of the hole and plug piece. Also, I screw the patch to the wood, but hot glue is a nice touch.
Hot melt glue acts like a shim and holds the patch peace proud, one screw is best.
What will happen if you were near perfect before doing about 90 percent?
When a chef does drywall repair or your drywall guy forgets his tools and digs into your kitchen drawers. How did that patch get so big?
This a good technique for a DYI project. The only thing he missed was screwing a nail or two into the piece of drywall. The glue isn't necessary. It makes it pop out just a little. You could actually see it if you look closely at the 4:05 mark
I would do California patch or use those pre-made sticky screen type patches from box stores. I did this method in video like 20 years ago a couple times until I realized how complicated it was. Never bothered to sift the plaster since I wasn't baking a cake. But I'm just DIYer do what do I know.
I too am stunned by the extra, unnecessary amount of work that this took
That's because it went right over your head
@@denisebrucato9073 I’m a lifelong carpenter and handyman
I can’t believe he didn’t use a rolling pin to flatten it out
I just fill the entire cavity with expanding foam. Flatten off what oozes out of the hole with a silicone spatula (may take several attempts if foam continues to expand,) finish it off with a belt sander (60 grit). Choose a color of expanding foam that will match the wall, so you won't need to paint. When finished, hang a picture or mirror over the spot using a 12-penny nail (stainless, of course.)
Not sure why all the kitchen gadgets, but it looks good. Can I ask why you didn't screw the new piece onto the wood piece you added. Would that have added support?
He could of just mushed a blocked of melted mozzarella around his fill peice n popped it in then cominecd to mudding
If you weren't going to bother about using tape on the points you should have at least put a Piece of wood on each side too Fasten 2.
Two would be better for sure but it will still hold. Tape not needed. He should have spritzed the gypsum core around the edges for a better bond. But will still hold.
Don't you need tape to avoid cracks later? Just wondering.
This might not crack because it's so small the surrounding drywall is all one piece, but I always use tape just to be on the safe side.
Nice to see a dimpler bit and battery screw gun after a pizza cutter was used .. -- get a knife -- Also if you back cut the patch and laeave extra paper on the face you have instant seam tape and never crack This also eliminates the need for a backer wood and screws !
No that’s actually a useful tip lol. Can’t tell people about that. Gotta have them out here with a cheese grater, a pizza cutter and a hot glue gun lol.
Learned a lot from your videos. In this case: your choices of kitchen items. * Do have 1 suggestion: - Make a pencil mark, near the top of the front facing side.
Done heaps of these but never applied plaster to the edges of patch and wall sheet which is a good idea, I always put stopping tape over and around the edges just to hide cracking which might occur around the edges in the future but nice job anyway.
Who knew I have been storing all my best tools in the kitchen drawer.
I have been doing it wrong for the last 16yrs. I'm now throwing my utility knife away for a pizza cutter 😂😂
😂
Very complicated! Also because he didn't tape around the outside edges they will Crack over time. I would make a simple hot patch and fix it proper.
Bet the wife was thrilled to see this….at least she now knows where to look for the missing kitchen utensils…….
How do you know he doesn't have his own set?
@@denisebrucato9073 yeah right….
There is a technique called a blow-out. The plug that was cut in the video: cut it 2" larger then the hole all around (so both the length and width should be 4" larger). Snap the two inches all around after scoring 1 side, peel the back side away with the board. This will just leave just the top paper boardering the plug. Wet all the drywall first with a sponge. Put mud on everything and you dont need the wood. Then apply the plug with it's two inches of paper all around which becomes like the tape would normally be. No better way.
Also known as a California Patch.
We call that a hot patch. 😇✌️
Correct way of doing it sir, not like in the video.
Yep, I always called them California patches...lol
@@paulywalnuts9045 yep that's what i've always called them too

Muy bueno q material usa para pegarlo?
I'm sure that the only people stunned were those that knew the right way to do a repair such as that! And, what's with the pizza cutter? Plus, he gave a big thumbs up at the end, as well! 😅
This repair will only lead to a much larger hole in the wall when his wife finds out what he’s been doing with her kitchen utensils. 😵💫
LOL!
Any idea why I was craving pancakes right up to the point where you started spackling the wall?😂
I use the wood method on larger holes, except I use two for more support. Then I use screws to attach the drywall to the wood. The glue thing is a waste of time. Although, thanks to KZhead my patches may still use the wood supports I will use the ‘California’ method for the patch itself.
Thank you! Looks fantastic. I love hot gluing it also to that brace! Very helpful! ❤
Speaks volumes about the 60 year mason. I’ve been using this method for 30 years.
I learned from this video. Thank you.
PERFECT JOB. THANKS FOR THE LESSON.
What happens whenever house moves and there’s no tape on the joints😊
Awww, I was hoping that you would continue with the kitchen tool theme and use kitchen spatulas to apply the mud ! Wonderful video, love the inserted piece of wood, thank you for sharing ,':*}
Bet his partner was well pleased with the kitchen utensils being used!!
No tape? I have used similar methods that make use of some kind of 'backing' support. The patch can also be screwed to the backing. Tape will prevent future cracking of the mud along the seams.
Why would anyone be stunned by this? It is the standard method to patch a hole drywall. Certainly this is a useful 'how to' video but the title is nonsense.
I like the idea of support from behind. That's smart!
