What happens here

Using a putty knife (or the 5-in-1 tool), apply a small amount of 3M Patch Plus Primer spackle over the newly installed screw head and the scraped area. Spread the spackle smoothly and evenly, feathering the edges so that the repair blends seamlessly with the surrounding ceiling surface. The goal is to fill the void created by the removal of the nail and the new screw, creating a flat and smooth base for subsequent finishing steps.

Goal: Fill the damaged area with spackle to create a smooth surface.
