Hide the drill marks on wall at home

[livingthing]

Hi,
Is there any way to hide or fill in the drilled holes in the wall at home ??

Dunno - banging your head against the wall? Of course theres various puttys and such, but the question is what the wall is made of, and how the holes are. Usually theres a plastic plug you either get out or then stuff in so it doesn't effect the result. Problem with putty is that it shrinks more the thicker it is, concrete or board walls best is to fill the hole with gypsum, the thing with gypsum is it "sucks in" paint so then you have to get some sort of emulsion on top.

When I was a student we used to stuff the nail holes with toilet paper and put tippex on it for the inspection...

yes, bauhaus, biltema and the likes should have it. ya it depends on the wall, so perhaps talking to a sales guy might be needed.

It will probably only cost several hundred Euros for professional repairs when the "talonmies" finds out that you've been drilling holes in his walls in violation of the lease agreement. Oh, and you'll probably have to find a new place to live.
