>>I just installed a closet door frame and door. While nailing part of
>>the frame in the upper right corner, a piece of drywall broke away.
>>The size is about 5" vertical by 2" wide in a cone/funnel shape which
>>left about a 1.5" base right to the stud where the frame is nailed.
>>The piece came out as a whole (minus a few little chips here and
>>there). Therefore, what would be best to repair.....apply a little
>>compound and put the piece back in then compound the rest on top
>>followed by the normal procedure of drying, sanding, painting, etc. OR
>>just fill in the entire area with compound followed by the normal

Ought to note that quick muds don't sand well at all once dry.
