Saint-gobain FDW6714-U Fibatape Drywall Patch 8x8 in

Product Description

The SAINT-GOBAIN FDW6714-U FibaTape drywall patch is a self-adhesive, metal-reinforced repair patch designed for filling holes in drywall, plaster walls, and ceilings. Measuring 8 inches x 8 inches, the patch features a rigid perforated metal backing that promotes deep penetration and strong adhesion of joint compound into and around the repair area. The pressure-sensitive adhesive surface bonds directly to the wall or ceiling surface when pressed into place, eliminating the need for a separate backing board on smaller holes. This patch is suited for drywall installers, finish carpenters, painters, and maintenance technicians performing interior patching work.

This patch is intended for residential and light commercial interior repair applications. It is used to cover and reinforce holes in standard gypsum drywall panels, plaster walls, and ceilings before applying joint compound. The rigid perforated metal construction bridges the void and provides a stable base for feathering compound flush with the surrounding surface. Once compound is applied and sanded smooth, the repair area is ready for primer and paint. No cutting of drywall backer or installation of support clips is required for typical small-hole repairs.

Key Features

• 8-inch x 8-inch coverage area suits a wide range of common wall and ceiling hole sizes
• Rigid perforated metal backing bridges the hole and supports joint compound application
• Self-adhesive backing adheres directly to drywall or plaster without additional fasteners
• Perforated surface allows joint compound to key through for improved mechanical bond
• Compatible with standard joint compound, skim coat, and setting-type compounds

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement patch for use on standard gypsum drywall panels and plaster wall and ceiling surfaces.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by drywall finishers, painters, or general maintenance technicians using standard joint compound, a putty knife or drywall knife, and sandpaper. Clean the repair area of loose material and dust before pressing the patch firmly into place. Apply joint compound in thin coats, allowing each coat to dry fully before sanding, and prime before painting for best results. No special tools or permits are typically required for small patch repairs.
