Drilled a big hole expecting to use drywall anchors provided with the assembly. turns out the drywall is too thick to allow the anchors to open. I ended up just using the screws on smaller holes but now i have to fix these holes up. any ideas without needed heavy drywall repair materials?
Wow all those answers are ok but easy way is to wad up a piece of paper larger than the hole-force piece of that paper into hole slowly not to force into cavity behind just slightly flush then stop-take a putty knife and float with drywall compound you can get a small container of that compound at walmart even-then repeat and sand between coats until you are flush and smooth-if there is a texture then on last coat take a roller and run it thru the wet compound

If is real granite you will need diamond tipped coring bits, if it is a composite then quality hole saws and/or drills will work. Slow and cold is the rule here, do not force the tool and you should be fine.

Just need to put drywall compound into the hole ,let it dry and maybe another once over depending where the hole is
Right Jeff, clean the hole of dust and loose surface paper. I mix and apply setting compound to the edges of the hole by smearing it with me finger to make sure it adheres well then fill the rest with this same type compound. This is a powder that is mixed with water. Let it set up then you can add another layer of drywall compound or you can tape over the hole with about a 4" piece of paper tape making sure it is flat to the wall. Feather out the area, sand and paint. If someone has this repair from a door knob they'll need to strengthen the area first or it will break again.
