Total Newbie, Need Help Repairing A Wall
So somehow i managed to put a golf ball size hole in my bedroom wall. Don't worry, i wasn't playing golf inside. But i have no knowledge of building or fixing things like this. I asked someone and he said to fill it slowly over time with compound, sand it and then repaint it. Is this a good i dea or does anybody have any other suggestions. Remember, i have no idea what i'm talking about.
Thanks so much.

Well, so much for the indoor driving range.......LOL
Check in the paint/wallcoverings area of your local home centers. You will find several products for doing hole patching work complete with directions. Filling that big a hole a little at a time will be time-consuming to say the least.
Also check this previous post for some good info:

I agree, and without having something in the hole to catch the mud will be difficult.
your local home center will have patches avail.
There is a patch that has a metal center and it's surrounded with Fiberglass mesh tape and you just stick it to your opening and mud over it.
And they have a Strait-flex patch that we use a times it's like a corruagated patch that works very good as well
