How do you repair holes in quarter inch thick drywall?
It depends on the size of the hole.For the smallest holes (less than an inch or so), you need spackling paste and a putty knife. Fill the hole with spackle, wipe it level with the wall with the putty knife, and let dry. Paint.For medium holes (about 1" to 8" wide), you will need an aluminum patch, which is sort of like a mesh grid, patching plaster, a sanding sponge, and a large putty knife. Put the mesh grid up to the hole, and use the plaster to coat the grid and blend it into the surface of the drywall. After it has dried, sand it even. Prime and paint.For larger holes (larger than 8"), you will need a drywall patch, joint compound, a sanding sponge, drywall screws, a screwdriver, and a compound knife (to spread the joint compound). Cut a larger, well-shaped hole around the hole that you are trying to repair, in the shape of a rectangle (for example, if you had a football-helmet shaped hole in your wall, you'd cut around the hole in the shape of a rectangle) and remove the excess drywall. Cut the drywall patch to the same size as the hole you just made. Screw the piece of drywall into the joists inside the hole. Use joint compound to cover the drywall screws and blend together where the drywall patch meets the old drywall. After it had dried, sand it even. Prime and paint.
