The self-adhesive mesh patch that fixes a ceiling hole without calling a contractor. Stick it over the hole, spread compound, sand, you genuinely can't see it after.
My upstairs tub overflowed, water dripped through the kitchen ceiling, and I had to cut out two roughly three-inch holes to dry the cavity. I assumed I'd need a contractor because ceiling work is overhead and harder than walls.
The trick is a self-adhesive metal mesh patch. Stick it over the hole, spread joint compound over it, sand smooth. I pressed the patch in, spread compound, did three coats, and now you can't see them.
Yes, the mesh sticks and the joint compound locks it in overhead just like on a wall.
About three, sanding smooth between coats, then paint.
