How to Fix Cracked Sheetrock Ceiling: Simple Process Cleaning up the Torn PaperUse a utility knife and carve away any stray pieces of gypsum or surface paper that might be protruding out from the wall surface. You require the damaged area’s borders to be recessed inward or flat before repairing the hole.
Applying the Paper Joint TapeCut off 2 sections of paper joint tape in a way that the tape's length will extend at least two inches beyond all sides of the hole.
Smooth down a joint compound’s thin layer around the damaged area. Apply the joint tape over the damaged area in a cross-shaped pattern, one part over the other. Press the tape down so that it adheres to the surface of the wall completely.
Covering the Paper with the Joint CompoundCover the entire area with the joint compound using a drywall knife carefully. Use some of the joint compounds beyond the hole and smooth it down using the drywall knife.
Allowing the Drywall Patch to CureLet the 1st layer of the joint compound dry. It may take up to 2 or 3 hours. Once the joint compound is solid and dry, use a drywall sanding sponge to sand down any high spots.
Repeating the ProcessRepeat the process one or two times more. Sand between each dried coat until you find a smooth patch over the entire area.
Cleaning and PaintingUse a clean rag to wipe away all sanding dust and paint over the patch area. It usually takes 2 coats of paint to cover the patch area adequately, as the joint compound absorbs paint.
