Sand and Prime Patches

What happens here

Lightly sand the newly applied patches with a sanding sponge or fine-grit sandpaper until they are smooth and flush with the surrounding surface. Be careful not to over-sand. Once sanded, apply a small amount of drywall primer over each patched area using a small roller or brush. This ensures these repairs are properly sealed and blend seamlessly with the rest of the primed wall, providing a consistent surface for final painting.

Goal: Smooth and seal repaired areas for final paint.
