Welcome to today’s daily kōrero!
Anyone can make the thread, first in first served. If you are here on a day and there’s no daily thread, feel free to create it!
Anyway, it’s just a chance to talk about your day, what you have planned, what you have done, etc.
So, how’s it going?
I’m also not a builder but I’d do something similar. Sand it back until you have a patch that’s well attached at the edges, fill with something like this, then sand back to be flush with the ceiling. Then paint the whole ceiling (otherwise it might be obvious you’ve painted a patch).
