Rust Problems
If you have rust problems
around your house, I have some tips that should help you
out... |
Make sure you use wallboard screws to repair your nail
pops. These screws have a threaded shank that not only
holds the wallboard securely, but also will resist popping
in the future. The best thing to do at this point is to
remove the popped nail, but this may cause damage to your
wall. If you don't want to risk the damage, just drive it
back into the wall leaving a slight indentation. 
Secure wallboard in place by pressing up against it so
you're sure it is snug to the studs and drive a wallboard
screw into the wall about two inches above the existing
nail just deep enough to leave an indentation. 
Repeat the process with a fastener two inches below the
pop. 
When the repair is finished, use a putty knife to fill the
dents with spackling. Let it dry thoroughly. Then sand it
down and touch up with some paint.
