when moving out of an apartment, what is the best thing to use to fill in holes where nails used to be?

Question

its small holes but we need to fill them in, before we get our deposit back. whats the best thing to use?

Answer 1

Caulk for large holes and toothpaste for the tiny ones.

Answer 2

Either joint compound or spackling are good for filling in those holes. Take it from me, I am in the building trade and also live in an apartment with a lot of things hanging on my wall. These can also be bought in small amounts. For small nail holes you can just apply with your finger.

Answer 3

Go to Home Depot, Lowes, or your local hardware store and get a small tub of pre mixed spackel and a putty knife. To apply, dig up a small amount on the p-knife and press it into the hole. Then while pressing, pull the blade of the knife down across the hole. This should leave a nice patch that will dry white. You may need to sand lightly and paint.

Answer 4

Joint compound or PolyFilla.

Polyfilla is the easiest to work with. It is available in small tubes that look like tooth paste tubes.

Squeeze a little in each hole and smooth with a putty knife.

Lightly sand and dab with matching paint.

Good Luck
