Answer:

Instructions 1 Combine 2 tablespoons salt and 2 tablespoons cornstarch in a small plastic container. 2 Add 4 to 5 teaspoons of water, stirring until a thick paste forms. Begin with a small amount of water and add liquid gradually until the mixture is a sticky consistency. 3 Spread the paste into small holes in the wall with a putty knife. Scrape the surface with the edge of the putty knife to create a smooth surface. 4 Sand the surface with a sanding sponge after the homemade spackle has dried. 5 Add an additional coat of spackling paste if the surface is not completely smooth.
