The first thing to do when working on drywall is to make sure you have all of the supplies that you need. These include:

A utility knife or saw – if your necessary repairs require a lot of cutting, it’s best to use a utility knife. If there isn’t much required in terms of cutting and tearing, then using a regular saw will suffice fine. A putty knife – used to apply joint compound Spackle or spackling paste – this should be applied over holes left from nails once they are filled with joint compound Joint tape (joint tape) & mud pan Caulk gun Duct tape Sanding block Safety gear such as goggles and gloves Adhesive mesh Drywall repair kit- these kits may come with adhesive mesh among other things

Once you have all of the necessary supplies, it’s time to start repairing the drywall. The first step is to identify and locate the areas that need to be fixed. Chances are there will be at least one or two holes in your walls from nails or screws that were used incorrectly when hanging pictures or shelves, for example. Once these areas have been located, use a utility knife or saw to cut out the damaged part of the drywall.

Next, take some joint compound and put it into your mud pan. Apply this compound over the hole using a putty knife until it’s completely covered. Then, place a strip of joint tape over top of the mud and press down so that it adheres well. Finally, use a second layer of joint compound to cover the hole and tape. Let this dry completely before sanding it down so that it’s flush with the wall.

Once all holes have been repaired, it’s time to move on to caulking. Caulking is necessary because it helps to seal any cracks or gaps in between your walls and ceilings. This will help keep moisture out and prevent future damage from occurring. Apply caulk gun liberally over all areas where there is a gap and let dry completely before moving on.

The last step is to touch up paint any areas that may have been damaged during the repair process.
