I too long for my patch job. tape it??

papason

When I cut out a piece I cut further than I needed. I think I was gonna take out a bigger section and realized it was not necessary.
So about 15 inches past the patch. Just a pass with the knife, so the paint and paper is cut. Not realy wanting to square off a bigger piece cuz there is a light there. I hate putting pieces over boxes, cuz for some reason I often miss.

Will it crack if i just leave it.? Need to tape it?
Ive got more than enough joints to try and make invisible, it is not textured and I dont need more work.

Yes tape it.

Did you the whole thing?

An overcut of an inch or so, you might get by with by taking the handle end of your knife and slightly indenting the cut. A 15" cut, you're not so likely to get away with. It will almost surely come back to "haunt" you. I'd tape it.....
