Leto, I was voting for _no tools_. Spackle/toothpaste is water-based. Use your finger. It's faster and does a better job. Knives make a mess of it. Anyway, a good rule is don't use an applicator that's wider than the actual hole. So unless you're punching broomsticks through the wall don't use a putty-knife.
The newer lightweight spackle is better, but we stopped using mixed fillers for small holes in the early 70's.
When in doubt, read the contract. I've seen some extremely goofy "repairs" for things that didn't need repairing, which ended up costing the tenant money to un-repair. :grimace:
