Saint-gobain FDW6836-U Fibatape Drywall Patch 4x4 in

Product Description

The SAINT-GOBAIN FDW6836-U is a self-adhesive drywall patch designed for fast, reliable repair of holes in drywall, plaster walls, and ceilings. Measuring 4 inches x 4 inches, this patch features a rigid perforated metal core that reinforces the repair area and promotes strong mechanical adhesion of joint compound. The adhesive-backed surface bonds directly to the wall or ceiling surface when pressed firmly into place, eliminating the need for backer boards on small holes. Licensed contractors, drywall finishers, and experienced DIYers use this patch to restore surfaces before skim-coating and painting.

This patch is suited for residential and light commercial interior repair work. It performs on standard gypsum drywall as well as plaster substrates. Typical applications include repairing nail pops, accidental punctures, and small access holes left after rough-in work. The patch integrates into standard drywall finishing workflows: apply, embed joint compound, feather edges, sand, prime, and paint.

Key Features

• Rigid perforated metal core provides structural reinforcement over the repair area
• Self-adhesive backing bonds to drywall and plaster without fasteners or backer support
• Perforations allow joint compound to penetrate and key into the patch for strong adhesion
• 4 inches x 4 inches size covers common small-to-medium holes
• Compatible with standard setting-type and drying-type joint compounds

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement-grade patch for use on standard gypsum drywall and plaster wall and ceiling surfaces in residential and light commercial applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by drywall finishers or general contractors working under applicable local building standards. Clean and dry the substrate surface before applying the patch. Press the adhesive face firmly around the perimeter of the hole to ensure full contact. Apply joint compound in thin coats, feathering edges outward, and allow each coat to dry fully before sanding to avoid surface cracking.
