Once the final coat of joint compound is completely dry, gently sand the patched area using 120-grit sandpaper. The goal is to create a perfectly smooth surface that is flush with the surrounding wall. After sanding, wipe away any dust with a damp cloth. The wall is now ready for priming and painting.
