DAP’s new Presto Patch simplifies structurally sound drywall repairs.
The patch is a circle of half-inch-thick drywall with drywall taping paper attached. You cut out the damaged drywall using a template included with the product, insert the patch and adhere it with joint compound.
The patch is intended for repairing drywall holes that are too big for simple spackling. It comes in two diameters, 3⅞ inches and 6⅞ inches.
The suggested retail prices for Presto Patch are $5.99 to $6.99 for the smaller size and $7.29 to $8.99 for the larger. DAP products are widely available at hardware stores, home centers and mass merchandisers.
