Drywall Repair Tips |
Available in 2" and 3" widths, the nail spotter and the EasyClean Nail Spotter fills
nail and screw head depressions with joint compound. Each row of dimples can
be filled in one pass with a nail spotter. Walls and ceilings may be done while
working from the floor. |
Use the pump with the box and slot adapter to fill the nail spotter, making sure
the joint compound is well mixed and lump free. Normally, no water needs to be
added to thin the compound mixture. Make positive contact with the wallboard surface at the beginning of the row. Draw the tool smoothly along the entire row, applying moderate pressure to force the compound onto the wallboard surface. The nail spotter blade skims off excess compound and leaves a slight crown directly over each dimple as the tool floats along the rocking skid. After passing over the last dimple, gradually break contact with the surface using a sweeping motion. This will give you properly filled dimples without leaving excess compound to be removed by hand. |
