Apply a second, thinner coat of joint compound over the entire repair area. Use a wider taping knife (e.g., 10 or 12-inch) for this step. Apply the mud and then, with long, smooth strokes, skim off the excess, feathering the edges well beyond the original patch. This creates a seamless transition between the patch and the existing wall surface.
