I am going to blow insulation from inside a bedroom and will create 21 one and one half inch diameter holes in my sheetrock. What is the easiest way to repair the holes...thank you

Hello, I've just replaced the siding on my home it has that type of insulation. The holes were patched with corks. Might work on sheetrock too. put the cork in, trim then spackel and paint.
Good Luck Woodbutcher

hi
i kept the old plugs and drilled a hole in each into which i put a string with a knot. i dunked the plug in 'mud' then when i put mud over the hole there was no great finish work. the second coat after the first dried and sagged/ cracked brought iot all to the 'even' surface. it sounds like alot but each install only takes a minute after the plugs are readied-when dry you can snip the ends of the strings and if necessary spackle over;the spackle dries quickly enough so you can prime to ready for painting in a minute.
good luck
