Wall Repair Question
Posted on 10/7/17 at 8:04 pm

What's up guys, managed to pop an anchor bolt through the wall that left a dime size hole in the sheetrock.
Went over it with 3M: Patch Plus Primer. How long should I give it to dry before sanding and reprising or paint coat?
On the container it says 30 minutes for the size hole I have, but a friend of mine says to wait 24 hours.
Looking to get a few more opinions!
Thanks

Are you in any kind of rush? It can only help to give it 24 hours.

I thought this was relating to the Trump Wall. I was gonna say we will have American citizens employed (job creation!) as Trump Wall maintenance to ensure it's in perfect condition to defend our sovereignty and borders.

24 hours is correct

Split the difference: 11 hours and 45 minutes.

Should have gotten the stuff that goes on pink and dries white when it's ready to sand.

I'd think the folks at 3M know what they are talking about.
If the directions say 30 minutes, then that should be sufficient.

It' sound like it's a 30 min hot mud. I would believe manufacturer over a friend.

It really won't take longer than a few hours. That DIY stuff dries fast.
Anyways, sand it, get some orange peel texture in a bottle, spray on after you figure out the thickness to match the rest of your texture. Let it dry for a couple of hours, paint and voila!

An update if anyone cares:
After applying a second layer of spackle, I placed the paint on the repaired area. Well, it turned out that the paint she had at her house was not the matching paint they used to paint the walls. It was the tester paint to give her an idea of what it would look like on the walls.
With three hours to spare, I went to the store the contractor bought the paint from and thankfully they were able to match. Went back to the house, applied the newly mixed paint, and was getting off the ladder as she turned into the neighborhood.
6 months later, we are still dating and she is none the wiser about the hole in the wall. I plan on it staying that way for the foreseeable future.
Thank you to everyone for help!
