What do you call it?

when you coat the back side of a piece of tape with hot mud and use it to cover a small hole in the drywall....For some reason, and I dont know why.....We call it a do-da.

I do the same with a hole. Mud tape on both sides then put it over a hole or over a over cut box. Let it dry and its nice and hard. I call it a band aid..

We call it a Blow out patch...

Always put mud on tabs and the drywall sides. Stick in the hole and wipe on a angle to stick to wall. Works great....
