    For best results

    • Wipe the blade between holes so dried crumbs do not drag lines through the next fill.
    • For a crack wider than the blade, finish with a broader knife so the coat blends into the wall.

    How to use

    1. Step 1Pick up a small dab of compound on the tip of the blade.
    2. Step 2Press it into the hole, then pull the blade flat across to scrape away the excess.
    3. Step 3Let it dry, add a second dab if the fill sank, and sand it smooth.

    About this product

    Filling nail holes without smearing the whole wall

    A wide knife spreads compound far past a nail hole and leaves you more to sand. This Homax knife has a blade only 1-1/2 inches wide, so you can push filler into a single hole or a hairline crack and scrape the surface clean right around it.

    Blade and handle are one piece of tough, high-impact polystyrene, light and comfortable in the hand. You can also work wood putty and other pastes with it. Keep a wider knife nearby for the last feathered coat on anything larger than the blade.

    If the Putty Knife, 1-1/2 in does not fit your job, the wall patch and drywall shelf has 14 more products from the Homax selection.

    Before you start

    In a house built before 1978 the paint around the hole may contain lead. Do not dry-sand or power-sand old paint until it has been tested, mist the area and clean up with a damp cloth instead of a broom. Drywall dust itself is fine and travels, so sand with a mask on.
