<<What happens to the quick-dry when someone bumps the solid-appearing wall later, say while moving furniture? >>

Notice he didn't say it was a method he would use in his own house?

No doubt it's less inclined to stand up to bumps and such. But I think you will be surprised how strong that stuff really is. I forgot to mention you could use tape after applying the quick-dry and it would help a bit.

I wouldn't try this technique on holes greater than say, 3ftx3ft in my own home. You could always try it and if you didn't like the outcome, punch it through. It only cost a few bucks and the other methods are still available.

I've patched holes in ceilings up to 5x5 using this technique before. You wouldn't believe the condition of some of the apartments in D.C. after a renter moved out!
