I live in an apartment where I must remove all of the drywall anchors

Is there a product designed to fill these larger holes (around 1/8")
rather than just using plain spackle (which may not effectively fill
them?


Spackle it with 2 or 3 coats is the right way, forget the toothpaste
(I think single women moving out of apartments thought of that one).
3 inch taping knife should be fine.


Actually I saw the suggestion on a TV home decorating program. The host of
the show, however, did go on about the right color shoes to wear during the
remodel. He used words that I think are colors (taupe, puce, teal, etc.), so
I'm not sure of his gender... You may be right.
