        "text": "Visible flashing occurs when joint compound or texture absorbs paint differently than surrounding drywall, creating dull or shiny spots. To prevent this, the repaired section must be lightly sanded flush, thoroughly dusted, and sealed with a high-quality drywall primer-sealer before the finish coat goes on.
