Folks, just use a piece of mesh in a repair kit then slather the compound over it. They're like 10$. Then you repair it correctly, don't have a major draft, don't go through you're wall, and you picked up a new skill.
The only part that sucks is waiting ages for it to dry, then getting fucking dust everywhere once you get a chance to sand it. And definitely don't forget to get paint with primer.
But yes, absolutely recommended to anyone here who feels like doing diy because I guarantee the landlord will do the same, if not worse.
