What is a plasterboard patch?
plasterboard patches are repaired on existing plasterboard panel. The clones can be very small and fix problems such as openings that remained from the wall after pulling the image.

Once the plasterboard patch has dried, the area can be easily ground, so the patch is flushed with the spatial surface of the wall. At this point, the wall can be redrawn and the patch will be virtually invisible.

With this application, the new panel is cut to fit in space, and then secured with plasterboard. Since the panels tend to enjoy the edges, it leaves a small indentation that is filled with the plaster. The plasterboard tape is placed through the plaster, with any excess that bleeds from under the tape feathered from the plasterboard patch to create a smoother texture. Once the patch is dry, light grinding ensures that the wall is perfectly smooth and ready for painting.
