I have not found an easy way to do it, but the best way I have found is to
run a strip of fiberglass tape across the area, add mud and sand. Repeat
with the mud and sanding until you're happy.

Hi everyone,

I'm finishing my bsmnt and when I'm putting on the light switch and
electrical receptacle covers, I'm realizing how amateur my drywalling
is.

I've bought the oversize ones and for the most part, they cover the
imperfections.

There are a few places where they hole was simply cut too big. What's
the best and fastest way to fix it? None of the gaps are more than 1/4
inch wide at most.

I can post some pics for your laughing pleasure if I haven't described
my shotty work well enough.

Thanks for reading and replying

Ed
