        "text": "A Level 4 finish applies three coats of compound over taped joints and fasteners, sanded smooth for standard texture or flat paints. A Level 5 finish adds a full skim coat of joint compound across the entire drywall surface. This extra layer eliminates minute texture differences between the paper facing and the mudded joints. Choose Level 5 when walls face critical lighting, large windows, or when applying gloss or semi-gloss paints that otherwise reveal subtle joint banding under direct light.",
