What happens here

The creator demonstrates a technique by 'Jeff Thorman' for patching small holes in drywall. He first applies a layer of drywall mud into and around the hole. Then, he presses a small piece of paper drywall tape into the mud, ensuring it covers the hole. He applies another layer of mud over this first paper piece. Finally, a second piece of paper tape is placed on top of the wet mud, creating a 'sandwich' effect. This method is intended to prevent bubbling of the patch and provide a stronger repair. He observes the results after drying, noting the absence of bubbles.

Goal: This step evaluates a drywall patching technique designed to prevent bubbling and create a strong bond for small holes.
