Abstract: A repair device is used to restore a damaged dry wallboard, wherein a 2.5 inch or larger hole is cut out from the damaged wall. A cut out piece of wallboard of slightly smaller dimensions than the hole is used to effect the restoration in conjunction with the repair device. The repair device consists of a wallboard support member that inserts through the hole to be secured onto the inside surface of a rear drywall. The cut out piece of wallboard is secured to the board support member. A plurality of clip members are affixed onto the cutout piece of wallboard, wherein the clip members engage an inside surface of the damaged wall board. The cut out piece of wallboard is recessed inward from the front face of the damaged drywall. A user plasters material into the recess and onto the cut out piece of wallboard. The clip members and board support member become an integral part of the restored wallboard.
