Hi there,
Unfortunately, yesterday I created a hole in the paint/render of an interior brick wall from a nerf dart. This was surprising to me as I thought there was solid brick behind every surface of the wall. Removing the loose and cracked debris as part of advice on patching brick walls I realised that this very small area is not brick, but instead a thin sheet of metal extending from the light switch. None of the other light switches in the house have this.
I’ve had people suggest covering the metal with mesh tape before patching, using a mesh patch, and even watered down pva glue. I know that once the patch is done I will need to get a paint match, so I have saved a large chunk of the paint.
I would greatly appreciate any help with how to go about this repair! Thank you so much.
