Abstract
A drywall repair apparatus and method. The apparatus includes a plastic puck that is dimensioned to fill a hole in damaged drywall. The apparatus is anchored inside the wall. The apparatus may have an integrated plastic puck mounted on a plastic plank. The device mounts inside the wall and the puck fills the ½″ deep void, leaving only 1/16″ to be filled with joint compound. There is no time-consuming multiple layering required. There is no need for broad feathering to hide the repair and the repair is as solid as the original wall before damage.
