how to cover up nail holes?

Answer 1

Buy a small tub of plaster/spackle/mud - what ever - go to Home Depot; they'll direct you. Fill the hole w/a spackle knife/putty knife; drag it across to smooth; let dry; sand down w/fine grit sand paper and paint. Good as new. If a big hole, use either tape or wire mesh to give the plaster/material strength (again ask the Depot guys for guidance on which to use - tape works better on cracks; mesh on holes); then put another layer of mud/etc. on top and spackle.

Answer 3

Home Depot sells pre-mixed spackle in a tube--just like toothpaste--which is great for filling holes if you are moving out of an apt. etc. Costs around $5 and is much easier than buying a big can, mixing, etc. Works great for small fills.

Answer 4

you buy a little can of spackle and if you have white or light walls then you dab a little in the hole and wipe it off with a sponge. You will have a final walkthrough and it will make it all look better. It will take you 10 mins.

Answer 5

Depends in what material they are located in, if it is drywall use drywall patch,(spackle) if it is in wood, use wood glue in the hole and push a tooth pick in it, cut off flush, sand then stain.

Answer 6

just use some plaster then sand it and paint over it. that is if your talking about the wall. now if it is your nail just cut it off or let it grow out.

Spackle, drywall compound, or Fix-All.
