Duck Brand 282084 Self-Adhesive Drywall Repair Fabric, 6-Inch by 25 Feet, Single Roll 1

★★★★★ I've found this product has an unconventional use as a drain-clog catcher; I cut a square, stick it over my shower drain, and it catches most of the hair that would otherwise slip straight down the drain. It lasts for several showers at a time and stays in place. When the tackiness of the adhesive wears off, I toss the square and cut a fresh one. It leaves no residue on the drain and it doesn't hamper the water drainage at all. Plus, this 25' roll will last me a long time (I'm only cutting 5" at a time). This works better than any hair-catch drain gimmick I've bought in stores.

★★★★★ I definitely would recommend this drywall repair fabric.I used a couple pieces of this fabric to repair a hole in my wall that was made from an 8 pound medicine ball.The medicine ball was thrown at the wall and went halfway through to, just visualize the damage I had to fix.With this material I was able to apply a couple patches and with plaster, fix the problem.I uploaded a before, during, and after picture.I would recommend this product to anyone with a hole needing to be patched in drywall.

★★★★★ I had about 1.5 sq ft of drywall to repair in a closet opposite where a water heater had leaked. That cost me around $1500 including installation by a licensed plumber as required by the city, along with various fees. That was all taken care of but I didn't notice *this* until moving some shelving. No mold, thankfully, but it's always something. In this town it's been hard to find a good handyman I can even trust to finish the jobs properly.Anyway, the area had sustained water damage and was a little crumbly...not in good shape at all. I was afraid it would fall apart and leave a gaping hole you could crawl through.An estimate from a professional dry-waller was $250 and contingent upon me moving everything out of the entire closet. Yeah no, that wasn't gonna happen. I decided to give this fiberglass repair tape a try. Not my area of expertise, but what could go wrong?The fiberglass fabric resembles light colored window screening with one slightly sticky side. The instructions say to cut repair pieces somewhat larger than problem area and apply with joint compound. Apparently even a gaping hole can be fixed using cardboard backing, I was prepared for disaster.I first spread a thin coat of joint compound then applied the tape, overlapping a bit. You don't need to use the compound first but I wanted to avoid pushing on any part of it until it had set. When that dried the structure already felt stronger, so I proceeded to cover all with a thicker coat of compound, feathering any blunt edges. Like most things it works better with thin, light coats.I like this compound. Smooth like butter, it's easy to work with and the last coat I actually tried to be as smooth as possible so less sanding involved. The instructions say you can also use a wet hand to smooth, which was a lot more fun than sanding.A day later and it *felt* like new drywall, anyway. I can't say it would pass on a wall I had to look at constantly, but problem gone, $11. total spent, and enough leftover for life probably. It's good to know that these kinds of repairs are not only possible but easy. Today it's the back of a closet, tomorrow it will be something else. Stay tuned.
