Saint-gobain FDW6838-U Fibatape Drywall Patch 6x6 in

Product Description

The SAINT-GOBAIN FDW6838-U FibaTape self-adhesive drywall patch is a metal-reinforced repair patch designed for closing holes in drywall, plaster walls, and ceilings. Measuring 6 inches x 6 inches, the patch features a rigid perforated metal core that allows joint compound to penetrate and bond through the surface for a solid repair. The pressure-sensitive adhesive backing bonds directly to the surrounding wall material when pressed into place. Licensed tradespeople and experienced DIYers use this patch as the first step in a standard skim-coat repair sequence: apply, coat with joint compound, sand flush, and finish with paint.

This patch is suited for residential and light commercial wall and ceiling repair applications. It works on standard gypsum drywall panels and plaster surfaces. Typical use cases include repairing doorknob impact holes, nail pops converted to larger voids, and general puncture damage where a backer board is not required. Each unit is sold individually and covers repair areas up to 6 inches x 6 inches.

Installation Notes
