How To Fix Dented Corners

Step One

First thing you need to do is locate all the damaged corners in your home and make a list. This project is really easy. So save time this Saturday and just knock them all out at once.

Step Two

Locate a tub of shrink-free spackling. Shrink-free is important. If you use spackling that shrinks, then you’ll end up with a cracked and sloughing mess before you’re done and no one wants to deal with that!

Here's how to fix dented corners in your home! You'll be amazed how easy it is to do. Make sure you choose the right spackle!

Step Three

Scoop a finger full of spackling out of the tub with your finger. You can also use a putty knife if you choose. However, using your bare finger helps you to better place the spackling into the grooves of the damaged corner.

Step Four

Generously slather spackling over the damaged corner. Be sure to press the spackling into the grooves of the cracks. It’s better to use more than less. You don’t want to have to repeat this step.

Step Five

Using a putty knife or spackling paddle, scrape off the excess spackling. Run the paddle down the wall on each side of the corner to create a square corner with your spackling.

Step Six

Allow your spackling to dry completely. Next, lightly sand any rough edges or protruding texture with a fine grit sandpaper.

Here's how to fix dented corners in your home! You'll be amazed how easy it is to do. You can even do it in one day.
