Unfortunately I do...I'll come clean, punched a hole in the low part of the basement cieling during a game last year. That'll happen.
Mine was a fairly small hole so I patched with one of those metal and mesh pre-made patches and textured with the can. Worked fairly well, though it took a couple of different applications as I was a bit tenative with it the first time (my "orange peel" texture is fairly fine, but I found it actually took a bigger application than I imagined to get right once it was knocked down) but was a bit difficult to get to spray straight up evenly. I'd reccomend doing some test runs on spare drywayll scraps if you've got any, or in an inconspicuous location to get the feel for what you need, texture wise.
Also made a hell of a mess, so make sure you've got plenty of drop cloth or newspaper down on anything REMOTELY near it (in the verticle position that can sputtered and spit like a first-time bukakke actress).
It was actually really easy to match, once you get the hang of it and looks great now that it's painted, couldn't even tell it's there. I'd reccomend
