Hi,
Have a hole in plasterboard where some water pipes once fed thru. Probably about 6" x 6" or so.
Wish to fill up this opening with something compatible with the plasterboard.
Thought I'd lightly fasten some thin wood on the rear of the plasterboard to hold whatever type of "compound" I force into the opening. Would want the compound to set-up solid and hard.
Assuming I'll need several coats, applied one after the other, before I could smooth it for painting.
What is it I want to get from the hardware store. Haven't looked at this stuff in many a year.
Is it still "spackle" I want, or are there better types of products for these type of repairs nowdays ? Brand and product ID would be a big help.
Thanks, Bob
