My $13 ‘wall chapstick’ makes it easy to fill in holes in your walls – you don’t have to do anything else if you’re lazy
IF you’re sick of looking at nail holes in your wall, this product may be for you.
A home expert has shared the budget-friendly product she swears by for a “lazy” fill-in.
In her viral video, Jordan Miller (@jordanmillerhome) demonstrated how to use the item.
The Instagrammer purchased the Original Erase-A-Hole Drywall Putty, available for $13 from Amazon.
Designed to work on wood or plaster, the putty comes in a handheld applicator for easy use.
So unlike Spackle, you won’t need a separate applicator tool to apply it to your walls.
Jordan joked that the home improvement item looked like a “wall chapstick.”
She explained that she saw the putty advertised and wanted to see how it worked.
“You literally rub it on your wall like chapstick and then wipe it off and your nail holes are filled,” she told her audience.
Jordan gave her viewers a close-up look as she used the putty to fill in a nail hole above her wall art.
She called the product “a great easy nail-filling solution.”
“Just paint when everything is dry or you can leave it if you’re lazy,” she said.
She offered a before and after look at the area where the nail hole had been.
Created by a drywall professional, the putty contains ingredients that minimize shrinking, withstand sanding, and don’t dry out in the tube.
As well as filling and patching wall holes, it can also be used for plaster repair.
Manufacturers recommend applying it to your wall in a circular motion and wiping any excess with a damp cloth.
This is a solid product.

“She did this instead of spending $40-50 on a whole bunch of spackling s**t, this is a solid product,” wrote one viewer.
“This [looks] like a must if you’re a renter,” said another impressed follower.
One Instagram user shared their homemade hack for patching wall holes.
“If you’re ballin on a budget and it’s a rental – flour, salt, and water makes a paste that’ll dry for small holes,” they said.
“Plus, [add] food coloring if you’re good at color matching.”
