DIY guys, filling a hole in the wall

[Se7ven]

I just took a shelf down off the wall and wondered what the best way to fill the holes left by the screws?

take out the rawplug (if there is one) first

Put your wang into it.

Turn it into a glory hole.

I would think any filler paste might be awkward as you must sand it afterwards, doing so will probably shred the surrounding wallpaper. If you were redecorating it'd be no problem, fill it and sand it flat with an orbital before paining/putting up new paper.

decorators caulk.....is another good one but polyfilla would be best

I've found that if you hammer the rawl plug in further so it is just below the surface you need a lot less polyfilly, plus trying to remove the rawlplug makes a lot more mess of the wall.

With your frankly brilliant;

My laptop has a native resolution of 1920 x 1200, and a 15.4 inch screen, if i use it with a 22" screen with a lower native resolution will the laptop be working harder or less hard to run games?

Blue tack

The best filler in the world, feels like you've just picked up an empty pot, has the consistancy of mouse, goes rock hard with paint, no sanding needed, I've been using it for years top stuff

Nice ninja, but sadly caught out.
Your post count is high enough, its time to stop spamming.

Looking at that, one of those crusty-but-still-sticky bogeys you sometimes get after a good nasal rummage would be ideal for the job.

Wallplug! "Rawlplug" is a brand name.

On topic, I agree with Bushmins reglardless of how ridiculous his thread was.

Filling that in is definitely not something to call "DIY".
