Repairing a drywall skim coat or plaster depends on the extent of the damage. Here’s a step-by-step guide to fixing it:
Materials Needed:
- Joint compound (pre-mixed or powder form)
- Putty knife (4-inch and 6- to 12-inch)
- Sandpaper (120- to 220-grit)
- Drywall primer
- Paint (to match the existing wall)
- Drop cloths
- Sponge or damp rag
- Dust mask
Steps to Repair a Skim Coat on Drywall or Plaster:
1. Assess the Damage
- Small cracks, bubbles, or peeling areas can be patched up quickly.
- Larger damaged areas may require reapplying the skim coat.
2. Prep the Surface
- Remove loose skim coat or plaster using a putty knife.
- Lightly sand the damaged area to smooth rough edges.
- Wipe down the surface with a damp rag to remove dust.
3. Apply Joint Compound
- For minor damage, use a small amount of joint compound and smooth it with a putty knife.
- For larger areas, apply a thin coat using a wider knife (6- to 12-inch).
- Feather out the edges to blend with the surrounding wall.
4. Let It Dry and Sand
- Allow the compound to dry completely (typically 24 hours).
- Lightly sand the area to smooth any imperfections.
- Wipe away dust with a damp rag.
5. Apply a Second Coat (If Needed)
- If the first coat isn’t perfectly smooth, apply another thin layer of joint compound.
- Let it dry, then sand again for a seamless finish.
6. Prime the Repaired Area
- Use a drywall primer to seal the patch and prevent flashing (uneven texture when painting).
7. Paint to Match
- Once the primer is dry, apply matching paint to blend with the existing wall.
