You will need:
- Putty knife or taping knife
- Joint compound
- Sandpaper (optional)
- Primer and paint
What to do:
- With a putty or taping knife, scrape over the damaged area to level the surface.
- Using the same tool, apply a small amount of joint compound to the damaged area. Smooth the surface.
- Allow the compound to dry. If necessary, lightly sand the compound to create a smooth surface.
- Prime and paint over the repair.
