Dry wall compound still works better.

I have an old house an so there are many dents of various sizes and depths that could use a patch repair. The product is easy to work with, just peel and stick the patch over the dent/hole. I followed the instructions as printed on the package but the results were not better than using dry wall compound or filler. This patching product is supposed to save time and I see that it would save a step of sanding when using compound but I spent more time adding extra layers of paint (the instructions say to apply 2 after applying the patch,) to try and hide the edges of the patch which still show through after the paint is dry.
This patch may also make a little less mess because you don't have to sand after applying but I am not happy with the results. Now I have do another repair.

A great Idea…but misses the mark

I was so excited to try this product and had really hoped it would turn out better than it did. We recently moved a large workout machine from our basement and while trying to move it we made quite a few holes and punctures in our walls. I was tire ms of looking at these holes so I thought this item would be just what I needed. I took on this project without telling my husband, thinking I would either be a hero or on the other hand never hear the end of it if I made it worse. I will admit it was a super easy process as long as you follow the instructions. It also comes in various sizes to match any size of puncture. Also make sure you have your paint on hand and ready to go because you need it to complete the repair with the patch. Although it was a pain having to paint over the patch so many times. I also feel as though it isn’t very secure, when I poke at the patch it’s not very sturdy. All that being said when I was done you could still see the patch. This might work for somebody in a hurry to fill a hole but if you have the time I’d recommend fixing the hole the old fashioned way. Or perhaps a professional might do the repair job with this patch better then I did.

Pros:
Simple to use
Only need 3 materials to finish the job
It’s quick
If you don’t have spackle and the other items usually needed to fix a hole this is a great solution
Comes in various sizes for all sizes of punctures

Cons:
You can still see the outline of the patch when your done even after we did 4 coats of paint.
The fact that you have to paint over it so many times
You must have paint on hand and ready to go to do this patch job.

Not Ideal

I was super excited to try this product. However, it is just like covering hole with a tape. I had a hole in dry wall from a door knob and I applied the patch there to cover it. While it was easy to paste it and paint over it, since it was not spackled or filled, the hole still exists behind and the door knob is already showing indentation within a couple days. I prefer filling in the hole with foam or spackle before using this.

Great Idea But Falls Short

The biggest problem I found with this produdct is that it has edges that are not tapered or feathered out. The patch is alright as just a patch, but it is difficult to hide the edges and blend it into the wall. The claim about being able to paint directly over the patch is not quite accurate - you can still see the patch through multiple coats of paint.
