        "text": "Finishing drywall generally takes three to five days depending on room size, airflow, and drying conditions. The process requires embedding tape, applying consecutive coats of mud, allowing each coat to dry completely, and completing a final sanding. Applying coats before previous layers dry can cause cracking, shrinkage, and tape bubbling later on. Large remodels, basement finishes, or spaces receiving a Level 5 skim coat often take longer because multiple skim passes must cure fully before painting begins.",
