What happens here

Once the compound is dry, sand the patched area using a hand sander with 120-grit sandpaper until it is smooth and flush with the surrounding wall. After sanding, remove any dust. Then, apply spray-on texture to the entire repaired area, following the same technique as the beginner method: shake the can for one minute, hold it 24 to 36 inches away, and spray in a circular motion, ensuring overlap with the existing texture for a seamless blend.

Goal: Smooth the patched area and apply texture to match the surrounding wall.
