" My name is Paige and today we are painting and redesigning my office. I have taken all the nails and screws out of my walls. Now, I want to fill in the holes. I have a putty knife that I’m going to use and then spackling this happens to be Drydex. This is a dry time indicator; it goes on pink and when it’s dry it turns white, so you know when it is. You just take a small putty knife, get your Drydex on there and go over your holes. You don’t want to do it too thick but you want to make sure that you have it covered. Even it out. With bigger holes, I’m going to use more of this and I’ll probably end up having to sand it. This putty knife, I can pretty much scrape this clean, so I’m not going to have to sand it because it’s even with the wall. Then when it’s white, I’ll go ahead and know that I can paint over it. "
