One really cool thing about the "plumber's patch" is that the drywall thickness of the patch doesn't have to match the wall. The patch will always float to match the face, not the back. I've used it A LOT while renovating houses and it makes life so much easier.

Dienekes4364, That’s is a great point and completely accurate! You can patch 5/8” drywall using 1/2” drywall with a plumbers patch. Thanks, Jim

I’m a fan of your product and how it matches knockdown texture. I tried the can spray with poor results. Picked this up at Sherwin Williams and the result is great with the pressure around 30psi.

This is a great video! But what if I need to run the new drywall patch out to the edge of a wall corner? I need some advice on making the new patch seamless at that corner. Any ideas?

a noob question😢 why does the drywall need to be removed? can’t remove only the wall paper?

Hey William Wei, We were all noobs once and I think you’re confusing a drywall repair with a wall paper repair. This was simply a drywall repair, but I appreciate the comment and let me know any other questions! Thanks, Jim

I had a flood in my house from a burst pipe. Only about one inch of water. But the house has smelled like mildew ever since. I think the water wicked up into or behind the baseboards, so I’m going to remove them and any damaged drywall behind them. I think you’re going to have the same problem with those baseboards.

Could be, but all of the drywall that we cut away had no mold. This was encouraging, but also we had no odor and none since the repair. So far, so good! We will keep a heads up and be on the lookout for any odors. Thanks for the concern and letting us know, Jim

I would remove the baseboard and put the new drywall all the way down. I didn't see any backing for the drywall to rest on. It's only being held in place by the drywall paper. No wood backing and no screws. Nothing is supporting the drywall on the right against the shower enclosure and on the bottom at the baseboard.

Hey GabeG., You make some great points, but we left the baseboard on purpose to show that a plumbers patch will work in this situation. The plumbers patch is a tried and tested method for repairing drywall. The facing paper on the drywall does not create strength in the patch, just like taping the seams of two sheets of drywall is not the strongest part of the wall. Paper tape or our method using the face paper of the drywall is a bridge to float drywall compound over, in an effort to control cracks, which would happen if we used nothing.. The areas that butt up to the old drywall are also filled with drywall compound and dry into a nearly solid sheet of drywall again. Also, we ran caulking over the area above the base and next to the tile before painting.I speak from the experience of doing hundreds of these patches over the last 30 years. Thanks again for your comment, I hope you try this method to check it out! Jim

@@EZ-ProTexture I don't doubt that a plumbers patch works under certain circumstances. I just believe that the new drywall has to have backing to support it. Otherwise it's just floating and any slight pressure will dislodge it. The drywall paper of the top and left side of your example are fine. But the right and bottom have nothing to hold the drywall in place.

I always cut my patch and use it to draw my cut lines. So much faster that way.

JER5389, I like the suggestion a lot! If I understand you, the idea is to cut a hole to match the pre-cut patch (which you use as your template), instead of cutting a patch to fit the hole, (with no template). Look at your big brain! Seriously, great suggestion! I’m going to try it!Thanks, Jim

William, I started construction in Southern California in the late 80’s. The terminology has gone back and forth from California Patch, to Plumbers Patch, and back over the years. We just shot a new “California Patch” video that’s out now. In your honor! Please check it out and thanks for making me accountable! Best of luck, Jim

@@EZ-ProTextureI have always referred to this as a California patch. The issue here is that your fix is still gypsum and will still get wet and be subject to the same issues once again.. Goboard ànd fibafuse tape with glue infused hot mud will provide assure that this issue will not be back. Your fix provides no such guarantee. I also would have separated the baseboard and removed it as well. I wiil give you that your fix is the quick cheap method and is wholly adequate. Peace

The most idiotic idea I've ever seen, in order to do it this way u have to wet that paper before you put mud on it, otherwise it will bubble. Besides it takes longer and regular paper or mesh tape would do the job faster and better. You should use waterproof green drywall or hardie cement board there.

Pawelfronczyk1579, This is not my idea! If you research “Plumbers Patch” you’ll find numerous methods to do this type of patch. I’ve done hundreds of them with no failures over the last 30 years. I appreciate your passion and your ideas, but there’s always many ways to accomplish a goal. I’m just demonstrating one. Wish the best! Jim
