drywall patch

Hole cover compound

A drywall patch is a repair made to damaged drywall—filling holes, cracks, or dents in the gypsum board that forms most interior walls.

The term covers both the process and the materials used: mesh tape, joint compound, and sometimes a solid patch piece for larger holes.

I need to do a drywall patch where the doorknob punched through.
