Fiber-Tape Crack Repair
Bedding paper-thin fiberglass mesh in setting compound over a movement crack, then floating a wider sandable coat, so the repair bridges movement instead of reopening.
Drywall Repair Clips
Clips that slide over the cut edges of a hole between studs and give the patch solid backing to screw into.
Chalk-Tinted Compound Repairs
Tinting setting-type joint compound with chalk so fills stay visible while you work and sand.
