Dry wall is a type of wall material that is found in relatively new homes. Dry wall, also known as plaster board, wall board, gypsum board, or gyprock, is a panel that is made out of gypsum plaster that is pressed between two thick sheets of paper. Dry walls are fire resistant and can be made water resistant too, so that they can be used in damp places, such as bathrooms and basements.

In order to repair dry walls, here are the steps that should be followed:

1) The first step is preparation. You can put a piece of drop cloth or a newspaper to catch all the debris below. Also, it is important to gather the necessary protective gear, such as safety goggles and a dust mask and to use these items so as to minimize any risk.

2) Now it is time to do some sanding. Now, the sanding doesn't have to be super rough. In fact, it has to be a light sanding. The purpose of this is to remove little flecks of the drywall or any hanging paint from the surface. Now, to do this light sanding, you can use an 80 grit or 100 grit sanding block. You can also use a sanding paper.

3) There will be times where you also need to use a utility knife. The utility knife will help you remove any torn pieces of the dry wall. Now, it is important to use the utility knife to gently cut the torn pieces. Again, the secret is to do it in a gentle manner. Also, use a wipe after all the removing process is done to remove any bits that remain in the dent.

5) Now, it is time to pull out your putty knife. Yes, a putty knife is just as helpful as a utility knife. Using the putty knife, apply joint compound to the dent. After smoothing the repair, allow it to dry.

6) Now, after the surface is dry - yes, you are now very close to the finish line - it is time to use a fine grit sand paper, around 150 grit, for instance, to finish off the repaired surface.
