Spackling and taping are crucial steps in achieving smooth, professional-quality walls and ceilings. Whether repairing small imperfections or finishing newly installed drywall, these techniques ensure a flawless surface ready for painting or wallpaper application.
Spackling is used to fill in minor cracks, holes, and dents, creating an even and seamless appearance. It involves applying a lightweight joint compound, smoothing it out, and sanding once dry for a polished finish.
Taping is essential for reinforcing joints between drywall panels. It involves applying joint tape over seams, followed by multiple layers of joint compound to blend the edges seamlessly. Proper taping prevents cracks from forming over time, ensuring long-lasting durability.
