I agree with Marv, need advice on a lightly textured walls that are very common in Ohio. I'ts impossible to fix a nail or anchor 'hole' on the wall as the texture never matches.

Never see these articles discuss repairs on textured walls... They are very common in Oklahoma. How about covering this version of interior walls.

A better way to fix large holes in sheetrock is to square up the hole. Cut a piece of sheetrock 1 in wider all around then the hole. On the back side of the patch, cut away the one inch border leaving the face paper intact using score and snap. Ligtly sand the back of the exposed face paper and apply a thin coat of fast set compound to the paper and the edges of the patch. Apply a coat to the inside edges of the hole and install the patch smoothing the edge down with a 6 " knife DON'T OVERWORK.
