My neighbor Bob said wood glue and sawdust fix any hole in drywall. He was kinda right.

I had this ugly hole in my living room wall from where a doorknob slammed into it. Bob told me to just mix some wood glue with sawdust from my miter saw and pack it in there. I tried it on a Tuesday night and let it dry for 24 hours. The patch actually held up but it looked darker than the wall paint even after I primed it. I had to sand it down three times to get it smooth and then use a stain blocker before painting. Bob never mentioned that part so I wasted an evening redoing it. Has anyone else tried this trick and had it work without extra steps?

My dad tried this with Elmer's glue once and now that spot's still sticky.
