WDSHCR Drywall Repair Kit Drywall Hole Repair Patch Kits Wall Spackle Repair Paste with 8.5OZ White Wall Repair Putty with Scraper, Wall Surface Hole Fill Quick and Easy Solution

Why I keep a compact drywall kit on hand

A small jar of putty and a few mesh patches can save a weekend. That’s exactly the appeal of the WDSHCR drywall repair kit: it’s a tidy bundle designed to take you from hole to paint in one sitting without a run to the hardware store. After using it on several repairs—nail pops, a doorknob dent, and a battered windowsill—I came away impressed by how simple it made the process and where its limits lie.

What’s in the box, and why it matters

The kit includes:
- An 8.5 oz tub of white wall repair putty
- Three self-adhesive aluminum mesh patches (two 2-inch, one 4-inch)
- Two sheets of sandpaper
- Four plastic scrapers

This combination covers the most common scenarios in a home or apartment: cosmetic dings, small to medium holes, and shallow gouges. Having multiple scraper sizes was surprisingly useful; the more flexible ones helped feather edges, while the stiffer ones were handy for broader passes over the 4-inch patch. The mesh patches are the lightweight aluminum type with adhesive backing, so they stick well and don’t sag.

Setup and application

I started with a doorknob dent—a round, slightly ragged hole that a 4-inch patch could span cleanly. After a quick dust-off of the area, the patch adhered firmly with no lifting at the edges. The putty’s consistency is the sweet spot between creamy and pasty: thick enough not to slump, but smooth enough to knife out thin. It spread well with the included scrapers, and I could pull a thin feathered edge over the patch without tearing the mesh.

For nail holes and small screw holes, I skipped the patches and went straight to putty. A light press with the corner of a scraper filled them in easily. On a wooden windowsill with surface damage down to bare wood, the putty bonded nicely and leveled out without rolling or smearing—a good indication of decent adhesion across common interior surfaces.

The putty sets quickly. Working time is generous enough for careful smoothing, but it does begin to firm up within a short window. I treated it like a quick-setting spackle: apply in thin lifts, resist the temptation to overwork, let it set, then sand. For deeper repairs over a patch, I used two coats rather than forcing a single thick one; that kept shrinkage minimal and reduced sanding time.

Dry time, sanding, and finish

Once firm, sanding was straightforward. The kit includes two sheets of sandpaper that are adequate for knocking down ridges and refining the surface. You may want additional sandpaper if you’re doing multiple patch-and-sand cycles, but for a few repairs, the included sheets did the job.

After a light sand, the surface took primer and paint well. Priming helps avoid flashing (that telltale sheen difference where joint compounds can telegraph through paint), especially over patched areas. The cured putty has a dense, paint-ready finish that blends with standard drywall textures when feathered properly. If your wall has a heavy texture, you’ll still need a texture spray or roller pattern to match; that’s outside what this kit provides.

Strength and durability

The aluminum patches feel thin yet robust. Once embedded under a skim of putty and paint, they disappear visually and provide enough rigidity to prevent dents from reappearing. I pressed on the patched doorknob area after curing; it held firm with no flex, which is what you want in daily-use areas. The adhesive bonds best to clean, dust-free surfaces—wipe and dry the area before sticking.

The putty cures to a hard, non-chalky surface. The “waterproof” claim in practice means once cured and painted, occasional splashes (think near a sink) aren’t a problem. I wouldn’t use any spackle-type compound as the final exposed surface in a constantly wet area; if you’re patching inside a shower or anywhere with persistent moisture, treat this as a substrate and finish with appropriate waterproofing and tile or a waterproof coating. For general interior walls, the cured putty holds up well.

Coverage and efficiency

The 8.5 oz tub is a practical size for typical household repairs. I handled a handful of nail holes, a medium dent with the 4-inch patch, and a windowsill gouge without emptying the tub, though a single larger patch will consume more material than you might expect. For multiple medium holes or anything larger than the included 4-inch patch, you may run low. Seal the container tightly after use; like most spackles, it will skin over if left open.

Because it spreads smoothly and feathers cleanly, you can keep your sanding to a minimum if you apply carefully. The plastic scrapers are better than disposable, but not a replacement for a professional stainless taping knife; they can flex and leave faint lines if you push too hard. A light final pass at a low angle mitigates that.

What I liked

• All-in-one convenience: patches, scrapers, sandpaper, and putty means I didn’t have to mix and match products.
• Quick-drying, low-shrink putty: thin layers set fast and sand easily without clogging too much.
• Effective mesh patches: adhesive grabs clean drywall, and the thin aluminum profile disappears under a skim coat.
• Good for multiple materials: adheres to drywall and wood; ideal for renters and homeowners alike.

Where it falls short

• Patch size range: the largest included patch is 4 inches. For holes beyond that, you’ll need a larger patch or a backing repair. I’d like to see a 6-inch option in the box.
• Limited sanding supplies: two sheets are fine for a few fixes, but they wear down if you’re tackling multiple coats and patches.
• Plastic scrapers are adequate, not great: they do the job, yet a wider metal knife delivers a cleaner final skim if you’re particular about finish quality.

Practical tips for best results

• Clean and de-dust the area before sticking a patch. Adhesion improves dramatically on a clean surface.
• Build in thin coats. One thin coat over the mesh, let it set, then a wider, feathered coat to blend.
• Keep the lid tight between passes. If you’re pausing for more than a minute or two, close the tub to avoid skinning.
• Prime before painting, especially over larger patched areas, to prevent flashing.
• If your wall has texture, plan to retexture after sanding; this kit doesn’t include a texture solution.

Who it’s for

This kit makes the most sense for small-to-medium interior repairs: nail and screw holes, accidental dings, and holes up to the size of the included patches. It’s particularly handy for renters preparing to move out, homeowners handling punch-list fixes before painting, and anyone who doesn’t want to buy full-size tools and gallon buckets of compound for a couple of repairs.

If you’re dealing with large holes, deep damage requiring backing, or moisture-intensive environments, you’ll want additional materials and possibly a different approach.

The bottom line

The WDSHCR drywall repair kit hits a smart balance of simplicity, performance, and value. The putty spreads cleanly, dries quickly, and sands without drama. The aluminum patches adhere well and disappear under paint. While the accessory set isn’t exhaustive and the largest patch size limits you to moderate repairs, the essentials are all here—and they work.

Recommendation: I recommend this kit for everyday wall repair and quick touch-ups. It’s an easy, compact solution that reliably produces paint-ready surfaces without special tools. If you anticipate larger holes or a lot of repairs, plan to supplement it with larger patches, extra sandpaper, and a wider knife; otherwise, this kit is a dependable go-to for getting walls back to normal fast.
