Abstract:
A method of repairing or finishing a wall or ceiling surface having an imperfection therein using a patch comprising a substrate carrying a liquid hardenable material said patch being a sheet having an area larger than the area of said imperfection, including the steps of:wetting said patch with said liquid to transform said liquid-hardenable material to a flexible gel state,applying said wetted patch over said imperfection in said surface to be repaired or finished and adhering said patch to said wall or ceiling surface by pressing said wetted patch against areas of said surface surrounding said imperfection,applying a thin layer of joint compound or similar material smoothly across the edges of said patch to provide a gradual taper between said patch and the surrounding surface of said wall or ceiling,allowing such liquid-hardenable material to set and become hard to provide a patch yielding a hard coating on said wall or ceiling surface.
