Place the California patch in the hole, with the approx 1" of the backing paper overlapping the hole, then use drywall mud to "seal" in the patch.Either approach will take 2-3 steps to do properly (read that as feathering the patch to eliminate noticeably high spots), then you still have to texture match, then paint.I do like that new product, but to think that patch could be done that easily is a bit mis-leading to me.Enjoy!

You must understand that while you and others with enough experience can easily grasp what you have stated, I believe it takes away from the intent of teaching those much newer, the concept of buying at discounts and how we make profits.Time and again, I see people paying prices for homes to flip here in So Cal and for the life of me, I am trying to figure out how the hell they will not lose money much less make any money.Again, I am not on disagreement with the principles you have stated, I just felt it was more confusing than helpful to most readers.
