Best way to patch super thin opening in drywall?

I cut a hole in the drywall to install a medicine cabinet, but cut it slightly too low and had to move the opening up a bit. Because of this, I now have a roughly a 1/4” thick strip of the opening that shows beneath the cabinet. What’s the best way to patch this? i haven’t had to patch drywall before, and I couldn’t find any info on what to do with this thin of a strip. It potentially seems too thick to just spackle, but too thin for drywall? Any advice is appreciated! submitted by /u/krystal_dagger [link] [comments]
