        "text": "Most drywall patch repairs require several hours spread across one to two days to complete properly. The physical work of cutting out damaged gypsum, adding backing wood if needed, and setting the patch happens relatively quickly. However, applying multiple thin layers of joint compound requires mandatory drying periods between coats. After the mud cures completely, the surface must be sanded smooth, textured to match your existing finish, primed, and painted. Thicker patches or humid conditions can extend the compound drying time.",
