Wallboard
Gypsum panels use in drywall construction.
If you don't have any wallboard pieces left over from a project, small scrap pieces can often be obtained free at building centers or at construction sites.
Wallboard nail
Used (when necessary) to tack a piece of wallboard in position before driving wallboard screws.
Don't use wallboard nails as the only method of attaching wallboard to studs, they do not hold as well as wallboard screws.
Wallboard screws
Screw with Phillips-slotted head designed for attaching wallboard to studs. Come in varying lengths to use with different wallboard thickness.
Don't drive screws so that they break through the paper surface of the wallboard—they should just slightly dimple the surface.
Wallcovering remnants
Pieces of leftover wallcovering used to make repair to a damaged section on a wall.
It is always a good idea to save any wallcovering material left over from a new wallcovering installation. This will give you the opportunity to make repairs with matching wallcovering.
Wallpaper adhesive
Used for bonding most wallpapers to wall surfaces. Usually applied with a paint roller to the back of the wallpaper.
Wallpaper dough
Very soft, pliable "dough-like" product for taking marks off wallpaper without damaging the wallpaper's surface.
Washers
Rubber or plastic washers of various sizes and shapes used to create flexible but water-tight seals in plumbing installations.
Take the old washers with you to ensure that you purchase replacements that are the correct size.
Weights
Use as tamping tools in asphalt repair or to help correct a bowed door.
Wet sander
A firm synthetic sponge with abrasive surfaces for sanding smooth wallboard compound without raising clouds of sanding dusts.
Wire brads
Small finish nails, from ½" to 1 ½" long.
Always wear eye protection when using striking tools.
Wire nuts
Connectors used to connect multiple circuit wires of the same or different sizes.
Always disconnect power before attempting any electrical repairs.
Wood cleaner
Cleaner that will remove soil from wood surfaces without staining or damaging wood surfaces.
Work in a well-ventilated area.
Wood restorer
Product designed to blend in a renewed wood area with the surrounding wood's finish.
Work in a well-ventilated area.
Wood screws
Used for attaching pieces of wood together. Come in a variety of sizes and head designs for use with different kinds of screwdrivers.
Choose larger diameter screws (#8 or #10) for strength, but be sure you choose a length that won't come through on the other side.
Wood sealer
Liquid product applied to raw wood to prevent moisture penetration.
Wood wedges
Pieces of wood about 8" long and 1 ½" wide that taper from ¼" at one end down to a fine edge at the other. Used for shimming and wedging in a variety of situations.
Wooden dowels
Thin dowels that can be used to fill worn screw holes behind loose door hinges and to smooth caulk-type substances.
