        "text": "Drywall taping seals the seams between gypsum boards and covers fastener heads to create an even, continuous surface. Without tape and joint compound, seams crack as framing shifts with seasonal temperature and humidity changes. Mudding also provides structural continuity and fire resistance across wall assemblies. Whether finishing a newly framed basement room, a patched plumbing cutout, or a garage wall, taping and mudding transforms rough drywall into a flat plane ready for primer, finish paint, or custom trim carpentry.",
