I put this hole on the wall to hang some clothes hooks but then found that the screw needed to go a smidge to the left . What can I use to fix this so I can reuse hole ?
I have Sellys spakfilla at home but I don’t think that it will be strong enough to take the weight of anything put on the hooks .Please correct me if am wrong
HI @Mark270481,
With it being a smidge to the left, will the new hole overlap the existing one or will it be in entirely new material? For a cosmetic fix, the spakfilla will be fine, but the area will be compromised strength-wise. If you need to overlap the hole, you'd need to go with Builder's Bog, a two-part filler stronger than standard spakfilla. Do it in stages and ensure the filler is pushed to the back of the hole. After it's had a couple of days to dry, you can drill through it to attach your new wall fixture. However, if you can move the screw to a new location in fresh material, that would be best.
Please let me know if you have any questions.

Hi @MitchellMc : thanks for your response ..it will overlap and that’s the problem plus this is the only space I can put it …was not sure if builder bog could /should be used in drywall ..the one in the pic os the one I presently have,is this one ok to use ?
Yes, you can use it in drywall, and that's the same product I linked to @Mark270481, just in the smaller packet. That's fine to use.
