- Sand the areas where you want to spackle until they are smooth.
- Clean the area with a mild soap and water.
- Wipe the area dry.
- Allow the area to fully dry before you spackle.
Spackle Instructions

- Mix the spackle with the putty knife.
- Scoop a small amount of spackle onto the putty knife.
- Apply the spackle over the small hole or dent using crisscross motions.
- Dip your putty knife in water.
- Scrape the excess spackle off very lightly.
- Allow the spackle to dry for the amount of time recommended on the label.
- If the dent isn't completely filled, apply spackle again using crisscross motions.
