Self-Adhesive Goof Patch Smooth

I ordered the Goof Patch after using Google and Youtube to search for a fix for my sheetrock goofs. I have a few outlets and switch boxes that are cut just a wee bit wide and I didn't want to go through the BS of drywall mesh patches, etc. This product delivered as promised. I had a recessed outlet (which has a standard plate built onto it so I can't use a Jumbo wall plate on it) that had a hole cut just wide on one side. I placed the patch over it as shown on the YouTube video and reattached the outlet. When I screwed it back on, it looked great. I haven't painted the wall yet, but it'll get a coat of primer and paint so I think the edge should be unnoticeable. Easy to use, went on smooth, no wrinkles. Just don't catch it on the edge of the recessed gang box if it is just below the sheetrock, it will make the patch sink in because the adhesive is tacky. Just stick it to the wallboard with nothing behind the part that needs covering. Unless you have kids with itchy fingers or you poke a hole in this patch, you'll never notice it there. I'm sure if you search for Goof Patch on YouTube you'll see the demo. Pretty straighforward. I imagine it'll work on plaster just as well.

I'm a mover and decided to throw these in my bag just in case. The need arose with an inch nick in a ceiling during a move. While flipping a headboard over trying to avoid the overhead fan in the master bedroom, I scratched a noticeable line. The patch worked perfectly. It was unnoticeable. It would have been hard to find even if you were looking for it. I used a white patch on a white ceiling, no paint, no putty, quick and easy. Exactly what I was hoping for from this product.

This product was great. I purchased over $125 worth of switchplates to replace plastic contractor plates, only to find every outlet/switch was miscut, and these plastic plates were oversized. The goof patch product was the perfect solution - easy to use. Hardly noticeable!

Works as advertised but the material is too thin. Love the idea of it.

The item served it's purpose! Used it to fill in small holes in the wall. I would recommend using this product for small holes.

Waste of my money. Looked good for what I needed. Put it on covered it as per instructions and let it dry. Now I am no carpenter but am handy around the house fixing different items. Went I checked on this a few days later it had completely crumbled on one ide and had fallen to the floor. It is or should say a great idea and will be if the drying/crackle and crumbling issue is corrected. I would not use again.

Fast, clean, easy! These were perfect when I moved out of my apartment and had to patch little nail holes, we got the matching paint and painted the patches first, let dry then the next day covered the little nail holes and it blended good, also used over spackled holes for extra coverage. Way less messy compared to spackling and sanding!! Def recommend

Looks like a sticker/tape when you put in on and the same after you paint, just a colored sticker/tape on your wall. DAP’s eclipse patches hide much better, but they’re also significantly more expensive. You get what you pay for.
