Been using a lot of the perf metal patches with mesh, they're 6" squares and cover a double switch or door knob hole really well.

Not to mention the strength they add.

Self sticking patches is the only way to go fast,strong and you don' have to square the holes up.I jut take it one step further and spray adhesive the patch and area around the hole.

Tried "Butterfly patches" a few times, when that is all I had. Now I carry Strait-Flex Roll Patch. Very quick and very strong. Tried the "frogs" for backing, but I prefer to cut solid blocking for larger patches, like plumbing access repairs.

Strait -Flex patches are the bomb ...... When I follow behind a happy router man ... they have it all marked out for cutting . 4 & 8" hyhats too.
