        "text": "A skilled finish carpenter uses several techniques to address wavy drywall and out-of-square corners. For inside corners, they cope the joints—cutting the profile into the adjoining piece—which creates a tight fit even if the corner is not 90 degrees. Along uneven drywall studs, carpenters may score drywall high spots or shim low spots so the trim stays straight. Flexible painter's caulk is then applied along the top joint to fill minor wall undulations cleanly before final touch-up paint is applied.",
