| Hi,
I will be patching a whole in the wall by screwing in a piece of drywall
into the whole. I am wondering if I really need to tape the joint and then
cover it with drywall compound, or can I forgo this step and just clean up
the joint with spackle?
Thanks,
Marc

Alway do the whole, not just part. This is a good start.

How big is the whole hole? Small patches can be done with no tape.

Yes, you will want to tape it. You are likely to see cracks if you
don't.

| If you keep your tolerances tight to minimze the gap in the new drywall
piece you should be fine without the tape. If your gaps are too big
you can get cracks as Joe mentioned.
