The Eclipse patches help you achieve an exponentially better repair than other products on the market. Once damage is caused, your walls will never be the same no matter what product your using to repair the damage. The design of the patch does an excellent job of hiding the outline of the patch and providing a superior finished appearance. Until the first coat of paint is applied, dried and you remove the protective layer, the patch will be highly visible. Once the protective layer is removed and your additional coats of paint are applied, you will notice a significant difference in the visibility of the patched area as it will blend in smoothly and evenly with the surrounding drywall making a highly invisible repair.
Prepping the surface is a crucial step in the application process. The surface should be as smooth, dry and free of any blemishes or debris as possible. We also recommend sanding the drywall surface prior to applying the patch to de-gloss the surface and increase adhesion.
