Medium Hole Repair

You removed a picture and you notice that there is a fairly large hole in the wall where it came from.

It is a bit too large not to fill in, but you can’t afford to have someone come in and repair it.

You can easily fill the hole by getting a piece of chalk and placing it in the hole.

Now you can cut it off or break it off flush with the wall.
