FIX A NAIL HOLE
Step 1
Ensure you have the right color by ordering a color chart at getsoto.com/colorchart.
Step 2
Clean surface with mild detergent to remove dirt, dust, grease, oil and loose paint.
* WARNING: If you scrape, sand or remove old paint (pre-1978 homes), you may release lead dust. LEAD IS TOXIC. Contact the National Lead Information Hot Line at 1-800-424-LEAD, or log on to www.epa.gov/lead for more info. Keep out of reach of children. Includes acrylic resin. Not for internal consumption. If ingested, do not induce vomiting. Contact medical support.
Step 3
Use spackle knife blade or pocket knife to cut away any frayed edges.
Step 4 (Important!)
Pound edges of hole with a blunt object so they sit slightly lower than wall. This is a very important step to ensure the repair is flush with the wall or surface.
Step 5
Squirt spackle directly into hole until it is overfilled.
TIP
To help push spackle out of tube, use included tube key.
Step 6
Use spackle knife to scrape excess spackle from hole so it levels with surrounding surface. Dry for 30 minutes.
Step 7
Once dry, lightly sand surface with sandpaper to level with wall or surface.
Step 8 (Optional)
Using a damp cloth, gently wipe away any excess spackle surrounding the hole. This will help blend the repair into the surrounding surface if you are not painting it.
Step 9 (Optional)
Paint over spackle with color matched paint to yield an especially seamless repair or paint an entire wall with a new color. Check out Soto Paint Touch Up!
Step 10
Clean up immediately with soap and water. Wipe tools dry and store in original packaging in cool/dry place.
