Remove cover , sand rough edges with 180 grit sand paper , replace
cover to see if any gaps are visible , remove cover , fill any gaps
with One Time spackle , let spackle dry , sand any spackle , touch
up paint , let dry , replace cover....Good luck....


That "One Time" spackle is worth it's weight in gold; consitently easy
to use and consistently exceptional results.

Had never heard of it. Have to look for it when I go by a paint or
hardware
store. In general, Borg rules around here :-(


HD has it around here as does most paint and hardware stores...If you don't
see it in the drywall stuff , check the paint section near the woodfiller ,
ect...
