ThanksI need to fill a couple of small nail holes in the flat w/o painting the whole thing - which product is best?
Use lightweight spackle. This is available at any hardware store or home center. Depending on the color of the wall, it may need to be repainted anyway, or at least touched up. The spackle is white. Hope this helps.I need to fill a couple of small nail holes in the flat w/o painting the whole thing - which product is best?
If the wall is a flat finish on it use simple lightweight spackling..or I believe you may call it polyfill in the uk...If your walls are a tinted color and not white..or even white with a sheen to the wall(anything other than flat)..it will show a 'flat'; finsihs everywhere the spots filled are...against a sheen on the surface..they may or may not see it on the final walk thru with a slight sheen..but if it is flat..it will be hardly noticeable..unless you smear all around the holes..make sure to dabble it on in little dabs and dont smear it all around the hole..I'm still laughing at the toothpste solution..how long before ants start eating the toothpaste out of the holes..they love the stuff..I have lived in some aopartment units where thier maintnance men use techniques like this..we usually call them ';slumlords'; and not landlords that use these makeshift applications
white toothpaste is a quick fix but just go to a hardware store and by some wall putty (It will be in the paint section) --- it's cheap! I would just apply it with your fingertips becasue you only want to apply a very very small amount and when it is dry wipe it with a damp cloth to smooth it out
if its on drywall and the wall is white just use a little drywall mud and use a very small amount and use a putty knife to apply it
Yes, using spackle, but you are still going to have to paint over the spackle itself.
tooth paste,
works wonders
