spackle
Drywall hole remedy
Spackle is a paste used to fill cracks and holes in walls before painting.
The verb means to apply this paste: I need to spackle the nail holes before we repaint.
The word, originally a brand name, has become generic in American English.
Figuratively, to spackle over something is to cover up flaws or problems superficially.
